legend has it, it was something along the lines of "Conference Manager" I remember Marcus on TV telling the whole world that he fell out with Johnson senior over how he wanted him to play. I believe Marcus' parting shot was along the lines of "What did you ever achieve as a player"? Surprisingly he never played for the sh** again! I take it you mean Yeovile? Edit: sorry oldgas it may well have been the sh**, did he play for Yeovil while Johnson was the manager?

4 hours every day sharing a car with Darrel listening to what a great manager he is takes it toll (I expect) Are you taking the water with that comment? It went bad for DC right at the end of his time but there has been no more important manager in our clubs history and alittle respect is needed towards him even if you dont like him on a personal level. Have a word with Big Jock. He'll point you in the direction of a sense of humour.

I guess statistics, progress and direction count for nothing as you say. Have a word with Big Jock. He'll point you in the direction of a sense of humour.

Yet another former player & coach is talking about distance. It makes me think he could well be being readied for Yeovil or possibly another NL club. I would not be surprised if the 82 offer him a position I doubt that. Didn't he spectacularly fall out with the midgets dad? No idea on that

I doubt that. Didn't he spectacularly fall out with the midgets dad? No idea on that Yes, I remember him being interviewed on Points West after his move to Yeovil was made permanent. He was really disappointed that his time at City was a failure. He is a City fan, and after leaving Sunderland, when hearing City were interested told his agent to get the deal done, even though there were Championship clubs after him he was happy to drop to L1 to play for his boyhood club. It never worked out because he just couldn't accept Johnsons dictatorial methods, and Marcus couldn't even say Johnsons name, referring to him as 'That manager' He finished the interview by saying "I will never play for that manager again" Classic, Marcus!

I do remember being in the Essex arms, in Kingswood and Gary Johnson coming in asking if he was there. It got the pub singing as Marcus liked a drink. Some photos did the rounds of him on a pool table, butt naked and drunks as feck. Luckily it never got to press. Used to see him fairly often as Gary smart was my next door neighbour and he used to have lots of parties. Thanks for the information

In all the years I have watched Rovers - including the years that MS played for us I never knew that his real surname was Tubbs! He changed it to Stewart after his father , Tubbs walked out on his mother.

He changed it to Stewart after his father , Tubbs walked out on his mother. always remember being invited into his mums house with my mum as they knew each other somehow (she was lovely) and then Marcus came home and well let’s just say I was rather shy and red faced. Also remember often seeing the lads coming out of the top of town in Bath when I was a youngster trying my luck around the pubs and clubs with me mates. Top lads they were!

No way, some of us don't even speak to our own family members who are City fans.
