Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 25, 2012 City1st, think it''s more the alleged cross-dressing, which is an unusual trait in an ex City player of the season. A few on here do a good version of "Psycho", though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 25, 2012 Can''t believe this has passed you by, City1st. The claims were alleged by "The Mail on Sunday", as reported on the "Flown From the Nest" website about ex City players: "Tony Powell was one of my favourite players when I first started attending matches at Carrow Road. I liked his commitment, skill and ability to go forward to link with the attack. My interest in football coincided with the end of his Norwich career that had begun in August 1974 with a move from Bournemouth in exchange for Trevor Howard. ... He made his league debut for Bournemouth in September 1968 as substitute against Watford and his full debut against Mansfield in December 1968 against whom he scored. He established a tradition of scoring on his debut when netting for Norwich after 48 minutes against Blackpool on 17th August 1974. However in his following 274 appearances for the Canaries, he was only able to add another 4 goals. He was named Player of the Year in 1978/79. He moved to the USA to participate in the NASL (North American Soccer League), joining San Jose Earthquakes in March 1981 until August 1982. Later he spent time with the Seattle Sounders (May 1983 to August 1983) It was widely believed that Tony was living as a woman in the USA. No-one is quite sure whether he has had a sex change or is living as a transvestite. All that we can say is that his lifestyle is considerably different from that of a boxer or a defensive hardman. However after this story was reported in even the national press at the time of Norwich''s centenary, the Mail On Sunday carried an interview with the 55-year-old, who they had tracked down to being a hotel manager in Hollywood. He was quick to laugh off the rumours. "It''s ridiculous," he said. "I don''t know where all this started. I am all bloke. I''ve never worn a frock in my life. I''m the least likely man to have a sex swap." After divorcing his wife, he now shares a flat with a male friend, but insisted: "I promise I''m straight."

Bill 1,788 Posted July 25, 2012 I didn''t miss it, nor am i that bothered that he is gay, or not Not even curious about why you are so taken up about it other than given what happened to another previous City player who did admit he was gay maybe there''s better stuff to laugh at Darren Eadie (player of the year) he''s bonkers, isn''t he ?

Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 25, 2012 City1st, so can I just the criteria you''re applying here? It''s OK to mock stupidity ("dimwits", "farmhands") and alleged aspergers sufferers, but not alleged cross-dressers, as in your post yesterday: "What should give rise to concern is what happens when reclusive obssessive young men finally do flip. When a singular mania about one fixation spills out into anger at the wider world. Thankfully this is merely at a mild form of aspergers, and hopefully will not manifest itself in any form of violent behaviour" Isn''t that just hypocritical?
