Only obscure if you don't know him.
Why you feel the need to winge about it I don't know.
All you do is moan about other people.
Don't think I've ever seen you post something constructive or positive

Re: RIP Tom O'Connor

Tom O'Connor was a spelling mistake away from playing for us. Anyone remember Tim O'Connor who started in a 2-1 defeat at Bristol Rovers in November 1985 and came on as a sub in a 1-1 home draw with Gillingham four months later? No, I can't either.

"A forward taken on by City in some of their darkest days when he was spotted in the Welsh League. He managed a couple of appearances but never looked the answer to City's striking problems at the time, and released at the end of the season, he went back to the Welsh League."

RIP BLUEBIRD. :ayatollah:

Well said Bill. I think that it should be made compulsory that whenever there's a RIP thread on here, usually a celeb, that they are considered honorary dead bluebirds.

I remember him. I was a schoolboy at the time, and he must've been quite young because he was doing 'jobs' after training. Quiet lad, i always thought that he was Irish.

In fact, i'm sure that he was an Apprentice with the club and got a years pro. (can't believe i'm having this conversation :hehe:)

What harm is it doing to you? You could, of course, just skip past thinking "some obscure person has passed away, and someone on ccmb has started a thread, why?" and go on your way.

Re: RIP Tom O'Connor

What a pity. Not a bad innings I suppose but a great chap.
He was a schoolteacher in Liverpool who became a comedian and as far as I know had no connection with this club.
Seems to be two conversations about two different people going on here.

And how else can somebody 'rest' once they have shed their mortal coil?
