Richard Green...a centre half we signed from the fake STFC, think he might have been a Macari signing, although could be wrong on that.  Don't think he played a game, before he moved on to the Pikeys, where he was something of a stalwart.

Shouldn't be confused with this Richard Greene....the wonderful Robin Hood much loved by kids of the 50's.

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore etc etc
Richard Green was a 6 foot 2+, fat, shaved head, centre back who was shit, we signed him (very highly rated at the time) fom Shrewsbury for a nominal fee of about £30k by Hoddle I think, it was Ardiles or Hoddle and I think he was on the bench for a couple of games but not sure if he ever wore the red shirt in anger.

I watched him in a handfull of reserve games at the time and he was slow imobile and couldnt pass a ball but was good in the air. I am pretty sure he only made the bench 2 or 3 times at most and no game time.

He now works as a driving instructor in Walsall.

An interesting story about him on the Shrews forum about him being a flasher Shocked

I remember going there and battering them 4-0. Think Steve White might have bagged a hatrick?
I was in the home end for that one. We tried to stay quiet, but beating them 4-0? No fucking chance. Great day.

We were in the Grandstand, in a block (or two) of Town fans.
If I remember it was for Season Ticket holders only.

Had City fans standing in front of us & gave them Dogs abuse as the goals were flying in.

Suffice it to say the Natives were a bit restless by the end

If he was benched under Ardiles, then he wont have been signed by Hoddle   Might have been Ossie, but donkey centre halves weren't exactly his cup of tea...donkey centre forwards viz Shaun Close.. yes

In which case it was Ossie that signed him then because he only spent about 3 or 4 months at Swindon before being moved on after an injury I believe to Jills.

City have made a statement tonight, Major shareholder Lansdown said " McInnes is under no pressure at all from the board" "the pressure comes from the fans which is understandable " And also " there's a million people out there who think they can do a better job" I didn't realise their fan base was so big ! I say keep him there as he's doing just fine  Cheesy
