60's - Alistair Burns (I've got Alistair in my records, I think I found his name in a programme from that time.
Will check when I next go up in my loft ! )

70's - Ken Jones. 80's - Peter Kitchen.

70's - Ken Jones. 80's - Peter Kitchen.

It was ALBERT Burns, played his only game in a League Cup 2nd replay against Reading in 63/4. He later went on to play for Barry Town for several years, and is shown in a Barry Town book I have playing for them from 70/1 -77/8. I have no idea where he played between leaving Cardiff and playing for Barry Town. The Alastair who played in the same game was Alastair Black, a full back, who played one League game in 62/3 as well. He was Scottish and went off to Worcester City.

Jones and Kitchen are correct - thanks to you and cardiff55 for the info on Burns.

This Wikipedia page has him down as Albert and says he is/was English.

I can see why you went for him, but, no, it's not him.

Correct.

00s Martyn Margetson?

Yes, you're right.

I have played with Albie Burns as he is known at the golf club. Lovely man.

Can you find out where he went to, club wise, from City and before Barry Town please?

[cardiff55]

90s one I'm thinking Tony Kelly or Brian McGrory but don't think it was them as Kelly was on loan, and McGrory a midfielder.
Maybe MarK Farrington but that was 85/6?

I'll stand corrected on Albert Burns - thanks for that. The other full back was Alistair Brack who played one league game at home to Middlesbrough in 1962.

No, this bloke was with us after the players you mention.

90s Jamie Hughes . Came from Tranmere, scored 2 goals in 4 sub appearances then wen to Bangor and non league obscurity/

[Loramski]

The link is that they all made their debuts for us in the League Cup (or is it full debuts? Grandin has Peter Kitchen coming on as a sub at Oldham a few days before his first League Cup game v Chelsea, not always reliable though).

They were two superb goals as well.

I never use the Grandin book for that reason, but I think it's probably right this time because the fault seems to be with the website I used. It uses a different colour typeface to signify a debut (including off the bench) which is very helpful usually and Kitchen's name is in that different colour for the Chelsea match, but it does look as if he came on for John Buchanan at Oldham - you're right anyway, the link was that they all made debuts in the League Cup.

If the Grandin book took the stats data from The Definitive Cardiff City by Richard Shepherd, then I agree. Shepherd's book is mostly inaccurate. I have researched City stats for 30 years including my visits to Cardiff Library and the Football League (very sad I know) and the errors get compounded with every book issued.
