Lee Johnson in the AWS back in 2001. Only appearance I think.

I was there. Do NONE of you remember?

I think the person who first posted about this earlier remembers. Have you thought about asking Gus? I doubt he remembers but someone might have told him about it.

I remember reading that Ivor Broadis, the ex-England international, was the youngest ever League manager at the age of 23. How does anyone become a player-manager aged 23?! Apparently, his stint ended when he sold himself from Carlisle to another club!

That's a great story. Love it. I hope it's true.

Funny you should say that?

It was actually a good finish from about 12 yards but yes he did score for us.

i vaguely remember it, but i can't remember what actually happened to johnson at the club. He's had a pretty decent career post-albion, was it just a matter of him falling out with the club? I can't remember him playing after that game

Tended to get pigeonholed as the manager's son. Was never very popular at Bristol City, I don't think, not whil Gary Johnson was in charge.

On a similar note, what's happened to Alan Navarro? Can't remember him getting into the first team for ages. I'm surprised he hasn't gone out on loan or something.

Remember that game was against Cardiff in the Auto Windscreens Wiper shield thingy or whatever it was called then.
