Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
Thommo was another. Opening game of the season against Southampton. Thommo started the next as well, at Doncaster, when we went 1-0 down and Jones brought on Bothroyd for a midfielder.
It is strange how memory plays tricks.
I was sure in my mind that Bothroyd came on as a sub against Wolves for his debut. I thought this because of two reasons; firstly because it was against one of his former clubs, and it also one of Dave Jones old clubs. I also thought it was a night game. For good measure, I am also sure mad Mick was Wolves manager at the time.
What I do remember perfectly though, is the immediate impact he made… receiving the ball about 30 yards from goal, going on a strong run, gliding past a couple of defenders and unleashing a powerful shot while still running forward… fantastic technique!
I certainly remember Roger Johnstone getting a last minute header against Southampton… to win that game…. Unless, my memory is playing tricks again 😁
