  • Anyone remember our promotion to the First Division in 1991/92?

    Taken from the Cardiff City website and the match preview against Bradford City:

    The 91/92 season was our first competing in the First Division of the Football League after gaining promotion in the previous season.

    Under the stewardship of Fred Stewart, the side impressed and took to the new level admirably, with the transition from 1991 to 1992 entailing four consecutive wins, coming against Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers and twice against Birmingham.

    That meant that City went into the clash with the Bantams full of confidence.

    A clinical showing in front of the net meant Len Davies secured a hat-trick, while Jimmy Gill got two and Joe Clennell also netted.

    That victory was one of many highlights, as the Bluebirds finished the campaign in an impressive fourth position.


    I thought perhaps they'd employed someone from the Echo.

      The season before it became the premier league?

      Impressive.

          Len Davies died in 1945
          Jimmy Gill died in 1964
          Joe Clennell died in 1965

          R.I.P

            Has the City website announced any funeral arrangements?

              21-22 Season. Bradford were relegated. Maybe it's an omen.

                Due to the ex-players transferring from this world to the next we have to wait for the embargo to be lifted
