He was very hit and miss from what I remember. 

He seemed to be unplayable one moment and a complete donkey the next.

He was doing ok, but got a bad knee injury I think.

I'm on a roll here :)

 

Kevin Pressman, who rivalled Douglas as a disastrous keeper. He also ruined my first night living in France.

 

We moved on 2 October 2004, and we stayed our first night with some English friends who had been living in the Languedoc for about ten years. We were having a late meal with them, with the telly on in the background (no sound, just pictures). I'm not sure why, because we were in the Second Division at the time, City v Preston was on Match of the Day.

 

I didn't know the score, so when Trevor Benjamin scored (seriously) after four minutes, I thought we were heading for a big victory (I know, I know). Then, on 39 minutes, the PNE keeper Andy Lonergan hoofed a long ball up field and it bounced once, about 30 yards out and went over the head of Pressman, who was standing somewhere around the penalty. He made a vain attempt to flap for the ball, but his feet didn't leave the ground and he landed flat on his back at more or less the same time as the ball bounced into our net. I shouted something like "You fvcking tw@t, Pressman", earning sour-faced looks from everyone, and a three-day penance from my wife.

 

It's here in all its glory.

 

We did sign some donkeys in the 2000s.

God that’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. He looks like Vardy if Vardy had eaten Big Wes...

Left back was only with us 4/5 months at the start of the 1969 season.

 

I have no recollection of this guy whose name came up on an LCFC Programme postedon my Facebook page.

I was there for that. Under filled Walkers stadium and terrible football. Halcyon days. 

I had 2 STs that my son couldn’t always use and I couldn’t give it away they even had the chance to sit anywhere in the kop or part of the West Stand there were so many empty seats.

My old man and I went with a friend. He stopped going halfway through the season and gave his ticket away. Didn't go for 6 or 7 years and cited that season as the reason he went off football a bit. 

 

It was so bad.

I had a season ticket for 3 consecutive years - and that was one of those years. Absolutely disgusting.

 

Will hopefully put that right if my application in the ballot is successful.

Never played for us.

True. He was on our books though. Probably should have taken more care reading the title. Not sure how I can contribute though if I've forgotten them all 🤣
