I remember him playing for us. His legs had gone but what a tackler and passer of the ball. Remember him being out on his feet towards the end of most games but he used to win everything. I was only young so can't remember his earlier days when he played for Wales and the Jack's.
I remember going to the Racecourse to see us play against Wrexham. It was the game where we took thousands and filled the entire away-end. City won that day (score escapes my memory) and Robbie James didn't put a foot wrong the entire game, he was calmness personified.Quote:

Not been blessed with left backs have we
I disagree. I can think of loads that would have been better off left back in the changing room.Quote:

He was a Little Black guy and nippy as Heck?

Un less it's to comment that we've had lots of good right back and not many outstanding left backs? McNaughton played left back for a while. But in the last 10 years we've had Capaldi, Kennedy , Taylor and now Bennett. And Bennett is the best of the bunch. Not forgetting Lee Naylor, Fabio , Declan John and Scott Malone. Oh and the legend that is Greg Cunningham.
Didn't Robbie James play left back when he played for us?
Yes it was Ray Daniels well done.
I knew Portsmouth were involved somewhere. Didn't he join us on loan only? My memory is terrible.
I didnt rate any of our left backs you just mentioned especially fabio. His passing like Mcnaughtons was awful
I think we paid £40000 for Ray Daniel from Hull and I think we sold him for £50000 to Portsmouth. He was only here for a year.
Robbie James played right back all season as Damon Searle was ever present at left back.
Thank you for that. I'd have just lost £500.000 on a 50/50 question on Who wants to be a millionaire if the question was did he play left back or right back.
I was that confident. 🤣🤣
