RE: On this day - Andrew B - 06-05-2025

6th May 1967.

    Today is former Gloucester City AFC right back, Alan Bird's Birthday. Alan Martin Bird, was Born in Chippenham. 
 Alan signed for City in 1994, from Trowbridge Town. He signed for City, along with a few other Trowbridge players, who made the same move. If that wasn't enough for Trowbridge, City appointed the Trowbridge manager, John Murphy, to become the New City manager as well. 
 Alan spent two seasons at Gloucester, making around 94 appearances, scoring 3 goals.
 He then went onto sign for Worcester City.

He’s the exception that proves the rule imo showing you can step up to higher levels and succeed. I think he is a great asset. Able to play in several roles all to a good standard. HB.

He had one game where he set up two goals for Joe Hanks and I'd be surprised if he's had any more assists (in home games that I've seen at least), fully of energy and desire but needs more end product.

15th June 1964.

  Wishing former Gloucester City AFC goalkeeper, David Coles, a Very Happy Birthday.
 David signed for City from Yeovil Town, in 1994. When he was at Yeovil, he played in an FA Cup 3rd Rd tie, at home to Arsenal. Believe that Yeovil were a Vauxhall Conference side at the time.
 David was with Gloucester until 1997. He made around 117 appearances.
 He is now a goalkeeping coach, at Bristol Rovers.

RE: On this day - Neil - 15-06-2025

was it you who wrote a letter to the Citizen complaining that his constant shouting was giving you a headache?!!

Nope, I thought it was useful at the time as our defence then had a tendency to go walkabout. And at least you could hear him communicating with the defenders. More recently our keepers have tended to be quite quiet.

Quicker than shouting "Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe" I presume !
