CCFC to CCFC

[Sunnysideup]

You see certain players over the years who’ve played for us and one that I watched in the u21’s but like so many others didn’t get a look in at first team level was a former Goalkeeper of ours namely Ben Wilson.
I think he made the odd first team start but those were mainly lowly cup games.
I’ve met him a few times and he’s a really decent fella
Unfortunately his face didn’t fit with our manager of the day and he’s moved on
Thirty years old now but Goalkeepers tend to blossom late
I’ve been keeping an eye on him this season and he’s been doing really well for the only other CCFC as in Coventry
They’ve pretty much cemented a playoff place and I for one will be hoping he does well ⚽️

3 league starts in the Championship with 7 goals conceded and 3 losses, 1 league cup game.

Face didn't fit? Hmm. Numerous loan sells away from us, AFC Wimbledon one cut short after calling their fans "*****".

His attitude was his undoing with us. We've had way better keepers since him.

Sadly, Coventry own the CCFC trademark in respect of things football.

Re: CCFC to CCFC

Yesterday’s game v Boro was a very nervy affair which saw Ben Wilson pull of two great saves
It’ll be an interesting watch Tuesday & Wednesday
I think the momentum is with Sunderland to go up
They sneak into the playoffs on the last day and come back from a goal down against the hatters

I'm sure I used to see 'CCAFC' written a bit more in relation to us. Or am I mistaken? No one would ever write that now, but didn't it used to be more common?

Hammam dropped the association from our name.

Wilson was bloody awful for us. He looked a million miles from a Championship goalkeeper. He's had many unsuccessful loan spells, and was couldn't get a game for Bradford in League One in 18/19. He has even been dropped by Coventry, he was their backup last season after playing 27 games the previous season.

It is great he is doing so well, good luck to him but to say his "face didn't fit" is rubbish. We also had a certain David Marshall in net...

Both the same way I think you'll find

also Willie Boland

Re: CCFC to CCFC

Another former City keeper is their No.2 also. Simon Moore.

Ben Turner

Willo Flood came to us from Man City - but he had been on loan at Coventry before the move.

Dave Bennett went the other way I think.

Yes of course both to City from Coventry. Both highly influential midfielders. How good would it be to have them both in their prime playing for us now?

Absolutely, even though he wasn't with is that long, Ian Gibson remains one of my favourite City players ever.
