absolute classic afternoon with the great Bobby Gould as guest of the Blue Diamond club
Some of his stories of his time in football had me laughing so much
The story of him walking through Dog sh** to get to his office at Eastville will live long in my mind
he was very emotional about his time with the gas and quite often his voice stuttered as few times

But my story of Bobby Gould is this. My dad died just as Wimbledon had reached the FA Cup final. My mum wrote to BG and said , that her husband had died and could she buy some tickets for her sons to help them have a good day out. He wrote back and said he knew how she felt as his dad had died and he knew what a terrible time it was. Enclosed were four free tickets. Some years later he was a guest on a late night show on LBC, which I used to listen to. So I phoned up the station and spoke on the radio to personally thank him. He said "Oh yes, I remember that. Don't think anything of it, and how's you mum?" Really a very nice man

He still lives in Portishead I believe.
Listened to him a lot on the radio over the years and he is very fond of Bristol and especially Rovers.

Remember bobby Well, a snowy day at Eastville v Ipswich in cup , Bobby 'scored' to put us 2-1 up, idiot officials disallowed it for offside, although everyone else saw that he received the ball from one of there players! a travesty, thinkw e were well beaten at Portman road in replay!
