Sorry to say that I was the unlucky mascot for @BristolCity that day at Griffin Park. Apologies about that. Did meet Andy Cole though, who scored, and I wore the legendary purple and green kit. #BristolCity
ON THIS MATCHDAY 1992 City are thumped 5-1 by Brentford at Griffin Park. Keith Millen opens the scoring for the home side while Andy Cole equalises for City. Nicky Blissett heads in The Bees’ 4th goal of a Halloween horror show for City

A train ride from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup costs nearly $100. So TIME's Sean Gregory walked 13 miles from Penn Station to see if getting to New Jersey mostly on foot was a cheaper alternative. Here's how long it took—and what it cost.

Ahead of Saturday's retro shirt day, Scotty took a trip to TopBinz Football Shirts to try on some of his favourite City shirts and even take a peek at some classic Scotland tops for his trip to the World Cup! 👀🙌

Quite the role model. Tommy Fleetwood makes a hole-in-one with his son Frankie on the bag. #themasters

What a day it's been on #BristolCity Twitter...
43y 344d - When Roy Hodgson takes charge of Bristol City on Good Friday, it will be his first game as manager of the Robins in almost 44 years (since April 1982), the longest ever gap between stints with the same club in Football League history. Resurrection.

Younger colleague has just massacred the pronunciaton of two Italian town names...Bari as Barry and Cagliari as Calgary. "How am I meant to know that?!" Then it struck me. There's a whole generation of young men who have grown up without Football Italia.
