No that's absolutely definitely what he said because he was talking about loving the atmosphere at Maine Road & I was saying how it was at it's best when the Kippax was standing. Perhaps he meant he wished he'd played for longer in front of it?
The final game in front of the old Kippax was 30 April 1994, Uwe signed for us in March 1994.
He definately played, and scored, in front of the old Kippax. he made his home debut against Wimbledon on 12 March 1994. His first home goal was against Villa on April 02 1994
Yeah just looked up Uwe's starting date. He must have meant that he wished he'd played his City career in front of it rather than just a few games. He also said that when he played that trial game he came off the pitch raving to Horton & Co about a player who kept feeding him. I'm not sure but I think that player was Alfonse Gojnendyk! I was at the reserve game but my head's shedded it. Anyone know, was Alfonse playing & was he on trial or had we signed him?
The best one he mentioned was he said Lee shut him & Ball in a room together for an hour to try & sort their differences & they just sat there & said absolutely fuck all, then left when he opened the door!
