Sam Morsy becomes Legacy Number 1197 👏🏻

@Turtletuvs 60 appearances, 2 goals… in his final game he played alongside Ron Tovey… any relation? Also in that match was Ivor Guy who is in the 400 Club…

@BCFC_History Ooh interesting, thank you. It's so cool to know I do in fact have a relative who played. Do you know how many games!?

@BCFC_FPA do you know if Bill tovey has a legacy number? I know he was on the books, I know he worked within the club after. Even under buster at one point. But I don't know if he played.

@Turtletuvs Will Tovey’s DOB we have matches this one…

Ah I sent before finished. 478 is a legacy number for William Tovey which could well be him! Are there any others?

@Turtletuvs Hey DT, or TT, whichever you prefer… we have a Ron Tovey (510) and a William Tovey (478)

On this day in 1999 in front of the Sky cameras Marvin Brown became the youngest Bristol City player to make his league debut and the youngest to appear in a Bristol derby… 17/10/99 - City 0-0 Rovers Our thoughts are with Marvin, his family and friends.

Fantastic touch with the 70’s crest as the @BristolCity X logo!

Louis Carey will receive his legacy cap on the 30th anniversary of his debut against Southampton on the 21st October 2025 👏🏻

@TimHiscocks Interesting thread here… otib.co.uk/topic/216025-a…

@BCFC_History Didn’t we sell them to Wigan for Springfield Park?

Our iconic floodlights in December 1965 with their sloping heads… they remained a feature of the Ashton Gate scene until their removal in June 1992!

Bringing through the youth at Bristol City has always been important. Cole Skuse received his legacy cap this week and Louis Carey will receive his in a few weeks time… thanks to @BlameyRob for letting us scan some of his archive material. Have any niche material? Let us know 🙏
