By football combination do you just mean league football? Because it must be Keelan, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Year of the tiger 63 Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Football Combination was the reserve league prior to them getting rid of reserve football. used to be some really good games, not like the mostly bland academy games these days. City v Southampton in the days of Francis Benali was always good for a couple of red cards Edited August 6, 2023 by Year of the tiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. I am indeed a boomer but I don't remember Dave Stringer ever playing for the reserve team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,369 Posted August 6, 2023 You have to be of a certain vintage to remember the Football Combination so the question is a toughie for some on here. I thought it might have been Trevor Howard but it isn't so going back into the mists of time I'll make a wild guess. Duncan Forbes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,749 Posted August 6, 2023 I used to go a fair bit when I was a youngster - were a couple of ‘regulars’, one called Phil Chapple, I think, seemed to always play but never had a sniff for the first team. But there may well have been others back in the 70s before my time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
