Defender Jazzi Barnum-Bobb has joined Wrexham on a one-year contract. Definitely has one of the best names of a City player, ever!
Can't ever recall him playing first team football for us tho. No doubt someone, possibly Bob Wilson, will recall the nightlights of his City career though. Bob?
I’m sure he played in an fa cup or league cup match against Northampton or Coventry. Can’t remember him getting much other game time though.
He played in the league cup v Port Vale, away. Put in a good performance too.Quote:

He always struck me as a neat and efficient all round footballer when I saw him play for the Development team and he was able to carry that sort of standard into the televised League Cup tie with Coventry back in 14/15. He also did well at Port Vale apparently. When that season dribbled away to two months of nothingness, he was the sort of player who could have been given some league games to see how he coped with the Championship, but that was never going to happen under Russell Slade's management and I must admit that, this time, he may have been right in his judgement, because Barnum-Bobb couldn't hold down a regular place in a struggling Newport team.Quote:

I do recall making a quick getaway from their car park, via a hole in the wall, and nearly (accidentally) ran a female PC over crossing the pavement. One of the supporters coaches got bricked and the M6 was being closed from 10.00pm onwards, for repairs. Hence the need to get away quick. We won 3-2. Strange how some things stick in the memory and others don't.Quote:

Thanks for all the replies folks! If all he played was a couple of meaningless away Cup games, it's no wonder it didn't register in my mind that I had seen him play for us
Anybody know who the last player was to play for Cardiff, Newport and Wrexham?
Just wrote this and thought of Mark Harris lol.Quote:

Jazzi got 11 A-star GCSE passes.
His sister's name is Calypso.
I'll try it out on the weekend Loramski, and let you know how many ladies I end up bedding with this knowledge :hehe:Quote:
