Ronnie Bird was my 1st City Hero, my dad wasn't a massive fan but did go on occasions, my 1st recall of being at NP was standing on the right hand side of the grange end with Ronnie bird going down the wing towards the Canton End, flowing blond hair!!.

I wonder if you're thinking of Barrie Jones there, because Ronnie Bird had quite short black hair?

Well Barrie Jones wasn't really a winger either, although I think he'd played in that position for Swansea, so maybe he reverted that day.
He broke his leg away to Blackpool and never played again. I THINK I was at that game, but didn't realise how serious it was. He was a real icon of the club and though he certainly played in the same side as Ronnie Bird , his era overlapped Ronnie, but he was coming to the end as Ronnie was rising .
See, I can't remember anyone with blonde hair except maybe Don Murray, and I can't imagine him running up the wing much. Mind you, I suppose you could say Brian Clarke had sort of blond hair ?
