Six City legends were inducted on Saturday 11th October into the Supporters Club & Trust Hall of Fame.
At an event in the Supporters Club & Trust bar before the home match against Chesterfield, Alec Eisenträger, Jack Boxley, Trevor Tainton, Geoff Merrick, Tom Ritchie and Rob Newman each received an engraved Bristol ‘Red’ goblet, presented by Club & Trust president Marina Dolman.
Our thanks to Marina and to all six players for their past services to the football club and for supporting this event, for which there was a sizeable audience, including City owner Steve Lansdown and wife Maggie, as well as further former players Gerry Sweeney and Paul Cheesley.

What a pleasure to see these photographs,I saw my first game at Ashton Gate in 1948 and well remember seeing Alec and Jack and waiting outside the players entrance after matches toobtain autographs.I certainly remember the 1954 div; winners with fond memories.Continued good health to them all.
