But Taylor said that statement is "far from the truth to say the least", as the PFA had experience of a similar situation from March 1962, when Accrington Stanley went bankrupt. It's a huge step and a great turnout. It's a great friendly atmosphere here. It's really well run and they've got the success they've deserved and built on it. All the people involved are very, very genuine." Crowds had dwindled from about 24,000 to 6,000 and gate receipts were, unsurprisingly, barely generating enough income to keep the club afloat. The renegade ex-white slaver known as Tyler thought he had seen it all. But he had not yet met one of his greatest adversaries: a woman who hated beauty, but didn’t want to destroy it … she wanted to possess it, control it…subjugate it...! With the help of her evil brood and a perverse band of sadistic sorority sisters, the worst nightmare of five beautiful young women come true. And only one man can save them from a fate worse than death. Come meet them all on this college campus, where the administration gets high marks in white slavery, and pretty coeds enroll, but never graduate. Instead, they get…Expelled!
That was how we did it. And now we just wanted to be there and to be among those players, because, to us, they were Gods. It never got around to me turning it down. I did see Bobby Campbell at the end of that season and he asked why I hadn’t got in touch with him because they wanted to buy me. Pearson has said previously he likes defenders who relish their role in the team, stifling the opposition.

I really enjoyed my time at Bristol City and while I was there I was looked after. It was just a brilliant experience playing among those senior players. They were such a fantastic group, great camaraderie, great spirit and they really looked after the young boys. It was a pleasure to be around - proper, proper pros.

It’s what football brings to the community and the lifelong relationship it has with people from the day they’re born to the day they die. Ken Scott called him out after the book came out, and they may have corrected a few minor mistakes, but Geoff went on telling obviously fake stories and never openly admitted his “fraud”.
Maybe if they had sold me they might not have won promotion. You never know. I had a good season, probably my only good one! Jimmy Mann joined Bristol City from Leeds in 1974 and made more than 200 appearances for the club en route to Division One. He would later play for Barnsley, Scunthorpe and Doncaster Rovers before hanging up his boots in 1983. It was a pretty grim time and it got quite nasty,” he said. “I had two or three phone-call death threats and so did my wife. It was scary. The Robins had run out of road at the bank, and the only option to stave off apocalypse was for the club captain and the seven other highest-paid players to take voluntary redundancy.

Jump out of the lifeboat and give your place to someone else so you can save them. There was absolutely no regard to their families and what they were going through in life. However, in the words of Match of the Day commentator Jonathan Pearce, who worked for BBC Radio Bristol in 1982, the players had "absolutely no choice" but to surrender their contracts. The man who led City into the First Division as captain in 1976 grew up just ten minutes’ walk away from Ashton Gate and was taken to matches there by his parents from the age of seven. After representing Bristol Boys and England Schoolboys as captain, Geoff was a about to leave school to become a painter and decorator when scout Cliff Morgan came calling.
Chris Garland excelled for City, Chelsea and Leicester City during his career (Picture: Bristol City Former Players Association) To me, football is more important than anything. It takes you away from the real world and gives you something to talk about. These lads for Nailsea tonight are going to be talking about this for weeks. Clive Whitehead: Winger who later won a promotion with Exeter City, before managing Yeovil Town and then coached Bristol City’s reserves. Later, he joined the PFA as a financial adviser. I put it to bed a long time ago, you have to move on. I’ve had a family and loved it. I haven’t dwelled on it but it will be lovely to see the players at the reunion.” The way the whole thing was carried out was completely and utterly unfair, it was a scam. I think I had another year-and-a-half on my contract. That would give me some time to negotiate with another club and instead, all they gave us was two weeks wages. I wasn’t a man that saved a lot of money and didn’t earn a fortune.They were heroes and they haven't been treated like heroes. In many cases they've almost been treated like villains, and it's shameful. They said it’s no joke and they said the club had run out of money - they said, ‘we’ll give you 30 minutes to discuss it and give us an answer’. It was an utter surprise. If you don't do this, the club dies, the fans will suffer and the other younger players will suffer - and it's your responsibility to save them," recalls Pearce. We had a business at the time which we were running, me and my then wife, and that wasn't going very well and I suffered bankruptcy as a result of all this," he said. It was the first time I'd dealt with a club having problems severe enough to put them into liquidation or administration," he told BBC Sport.
Peter Aitken joined City from neighbours Bristol Rovers in 1980 and played 41 times for the club. Like Gerry, he would join York City after tearing up his contract. It wasn't my family, I've got to say, but it went on because some other people were thinking in terms of their own side of things.

What instrument is that in the intro of Lucy in the sky?) “Hm, it’s been a while since I actually listened to it. How does it start? Oh yeah, I don’t really know, to be quite honest. It might have been guitar that we treated in some way.” [It’s a Lowry ORGAN]
