Except that schteve was signed when we were in division 3 and he was an attacking central midfielder schteve was replaced by john gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I remember hearing that when FC Brugge signed Roger Davies they thought that they were actually signing Charlie George. I don’t know if it’s true, but they still didn’t do too badly out of it because they won the league and Roger was named player of the season.

Williams won the ball, gave it to Gregory, who made things happen with his vision and pinpoint passing. If either one was injured or suspended the other one was half the player. Great times those. My son was named after George, and also the Tinman. George Ted (Iram ). If l knew the little **** was going to start supporting Fulham at age 9 l would have called him Rodney.

Sweetness34 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I was also named after him, but my dad went with "Geraint" instead of "George" much to my displeasure during my childhood! You'd be surprised to hear this, but I can count on one hand how many times someone has said words to the effect of "Geraint, as in Geraint Williams?" when I've introduced myself, despite living in Derby my entire life!
