Abide

Correct. Some clues to help you:

 

Two players who played for Halifax - one was signed from Liverpool and the other from Exeter

Left back who signed for Southend - surname is the same as a modern day bar

The ex-Stoke player has the same name as a Newcastle goalkeeper who played at the time

The left back for Middlesbrough has a son who is a current manager in the lower leagues

Thanks again @49er for your efforts on this brilliant thread.

 

Are you not getting fed up with posting all the questions? And me always answering? I should probably call it a day soon and leave some for others to have a go at. Where's @Izzy Muzzett got to?  

 

The 70's is my favourite football era in case you hadn't realised!

I knew that I had to get you back Blue Fox, to bring the thread back to life. Tuna is a bit like Gray, lots of potential and ability but it will take time to reach his full potential! Hope you like the new format - should have enough material to get past the quarter century mark!

Correct. For a bonus point, why was Asa Hartfoed a 'whole-hearted' player?!

 

The Leicester link did not play for City, but was there in another capacity

Gary Megson?

Asa Hartford was diagnosed with a hole in his heart. I think that was when he was at West Brom in the early 70's before signing for Man City.

He came along slightly later. Always thought that we should have signed Neil Whatmore, as he was a good goalscorer

[49er]

Blue Fox, that's it from me for this evening. Hopefully catch up with you tomorrow evening. Shall we send out a search party to find Izzy?

Yes Whatmore was good. Bolton missed out on promotion to the old first division a few times in the late 70's before eventually making it at about the third or fourth attempt.

Sorry I missed the fun tonight chaps - had to do some work for a change 

 

Anything pre 80/81 and I'm just guessing anyway really. I'm old, but obviously not quite as old as you two!
