' Stantona and Dale '

Kurt Nogan and Kevin Nugent

Oooooooh aahhhhh stantana!

Phil Stant was my hero. Probably my favourite all time city player. The fans loved him and he gave us everything!

Ha ha thanks Annis! Stants book was superb! One of the best around and I believe he actually wrote it himself. The Falklands chapters were incredible. The man is a legend. Can still see him bullying defences now. They really don't make them like Stantona anymore.

Who remembers Phil Stant and Carl Dale? what a partnership, played off each other,knew each others game

Any other great City partnerships?

Thats what we need this season http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewt ... 2&t=146953

No Paul Wheeler mun!

Joke aside both were awesome

Amazing video. Fowler was one of the few players for us who had a touch of class. Loved that Sports Cafe kit as well. Would give anything got one more night game at Ninian Park!

In my time which covers 1967-2014 Toshack & Clarke are way better than anything I've seen to date.

2 legends in my eyes. Loved the pair of them. If i remember right I was dissapointed with the turnout for Dales testimonial against Villa but i'm sure it was the end of a relegation season. Am i right in thinking it was a testimonial or some kind of charity match, only a kid at the time so i could be way off

I loved Bob Hatton and Jeff Hemmerman for the short time they played together. Jeff Hemmerman in his prime was surely one of the best poachers we've ever had

Fowler, that chip WOW

Dai Thomas and Annis Abraham.

Fine pair of strikers - at least they were on that documentary a few years ago!

Toshack and Brian Clark

Adrian Alston and Tony Evans.

Those are the days when I first started going, I always thought Tony Evans would go on to bigger things, did we not sigh him from Orient?

I think it might have been Blackpool but couldn't swear to it - the memory is not what it used to be!

Loved watching him and Alston playing together.

Im going to google it, were getting old

Your right

Funny how we can remember which teams we signed certain players from in the 70's but it's so difficult to remember our wedding anniversary or the wife's birthday!

Two Legends....... Phil Stant is my all time favourite City player........ Dale was superb to

Hemmerman and Hatton. My first full season watching ccfc was the 82-83promotion season.

jeff hemmerman b4 his injury at rovers

Dale seemed to impress with whoever he played with. Seem to remember him having a good partnership with the carthorse kevin nugent aswell

What a pair, 1st days of going to watch regular, Used to love Cohen Griffith as well, Not sure why

Stant Dale Griffith's Ramsay Searle Perry....

Those were the days...


Oh and Nicky f*cking Richardson

Dale and pikey, although pikey had a really good goals per game ratio he missed a few chances and always got a raw deal from the city fans.

Remember them well as its when I started watching city

Some of my best days of supporting City

Agree with this, Annis

I also loved to watch Jeff Hemmerman before injury wrecked his career

Didn't Hemmerman get 30 goals that season ? Rovers away, ha ha carnage that day.

Carl Dale kept us in the league and possibly therefore in existence with 30 ish goals in div 3. Hero

Enjoyed Dave Bennett and Jeff Hemmerman too, but Stant and Dale took some beating

Didn't Hemmerman get 30 goals that season ? Rovers away, ha ha carnage that day.

He did and he was well on his way to being City's "best ever" IMHO, but (as I said) injury took its toll

Some of my best ever days supporting City. Top players, and a top manager in Eddie May

Phil Stant is my all time favourite City player

Phil Stant - what a hero. Always gave 100%, never went missing and had a relationship with the fans that hasn't come close to being equalled since !

Gilligan and Bartlett were also a brilliant pairing.

Alston & Evans gets my vote loved watching them play up front together

There's been three main strike partnerships I've loved at Cardiff during my time.

Phil Stant and Carl Dale was the first one I experienced. The second was Peter Thorne and Rob Earnshaw which was prolific. The number of goals Earnie got was unbelievable but the number of assists Thorne got was equally amazing.

However, one very underrated one is the Jay Bothroyd and Ross McCormack partnership. When we signed Michael Chopra again it ruined that partnership with McCormack being forced wide. If we had kept Bothroyd and McCormack together that season then I am adamant they would have fired us to the Championship title.

Earnie and Thorne!

Dale was the main man for me when I started to follow but the above pair were the business IMO . Ripped league 1 apart that one year .
