Yes, one of those young players that just have an aura about them and you know they’re destined for the top level. Such a shame how things worked out for him. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelton Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 The equivalent of Tammy,an 18 year old playing like a 28 year old! The last minute equaliser at QPR and Warnocks subsequent meltdown is still one of my highlights of the last 20 years. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Billy Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) There are a handful of players that have graced the turf of Ashton Gate in my life time(45) who just looked like they didn’t belong here. Abraham, Caulker, Cole spring instantly to mind where you felt lucky/honoured to have them play for you. I’ll throw Jacki into that group as well but will divide opinion. Anyone want to raise me on these names? I actually thought Bikey was close to be included - I’m sure I’ll be shot down Edited August 6 by Red Billy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamdon Mart Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I know I've said this before on here, so forgive the repeat, but we had him on a season long loan at Yeovil as his first loan away from Spurs. He was 17, not 18 till Christmas of thet season, and was pretty much ever present. Won every POTY award except top scorer and no one that watched him that season will ever forget seeing him. Probably be in most people's all time Yeovil Town XI (that's a big claim, ha ha!) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Caulker real shame how it played out. I remember the game at Preston in the rain, the 4-0. Oozed class..one moment sticks in the mind- looked like a bit of a punt, actually a pin point long pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to raise me on these names? I actually thought Bikey was close to be included - I’m sure I’ll be shot down Too young for Cole & Jacki but I’d agree with the other two. There have been plenty of players that I (and most of us) expected to move onto the Prem & did do such as Reid, Brownhill, Semenyo & Bryan. Then there’s the ones you think will go on and play for England like Webster & Scott. I think it might be too late for the former but still plenty of time for the latter! It might’ve just been me, but I felt like Christian Ribeiro would end up a Premier League player when I was watching him during Millens stint as caretaker manager in 2010. It’s a shame about the injuries! Edited August 7 by Carey 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
