It would be nice to have a weekly where are they now, a lot of , older , fans probably have some great stories .
I have one about an old keeper of ours "Bill" Irwin, Northern Irish boy , left us to go play in America for Washington and then onto Dallas , I was told by another city legend Gary Bell that Bill found love down in oil rich Texas and has married very,very well , he is currently working as director of soccer at the University of Portland , and as head coach of the United States women's under-23 side.
Not a big name in our football world ,decent keeper ,played 180 times for us in a Severn year period looks like he has has exceeded himself in the States.

Remember that save against Leeds when they beat us 0-2.Great keeper.
Not City related, but I heard 5. Ian Rush can often be found inside the broom cupboard of a Cardiff restaurant reminiscing about days gone by.
If i rrmember correctly, we had the choice of two great keepers at the time, he and Ron Healey?
brought a tear to my eye
happy memories
A particularly witty ditty was -
Arry Roberts is so great, is so great, is so great.
Arry Roberts is so great cos he kills coppers.
Another from those days.
Brian has the ball at his feet again
Puts it out to Barrie on the wing
Barrie puts it over onto Toshack's head
And the Grange End roars as Toshack puts it in !
Oh City , Oh City you have scored
La La City you have scored !
