Only One Dean Smith

[mickyhoss]

I saw his debut in 1977 v Everton lost 1-5. Very poorly handled by the inept McLintock and his City career ended with a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. Died very young. RIP Dean

Loved the kit under Bloomfield then I associate it with that pathetic season under Mclintock.

Very similar to this season, decent team, useless manager

Did he live in the Kerrysdale Ave/Gipsy area of Leicester Micky. I seem to remember he was a pal of a cousin of mine.

Brilliant. Thought to myself earlier 'I'm sure we had a player called Dean Smith who never quite made it...Hoss will know '

Yeah, by a bizarre twist of fate, he played 50+ games for Brentford before dropping into non-league football.

Now we have two Dean Smith's associated with ouselves and also Brenford.

Micky, that image of Wallington scoring an og with a diving point-blank header has haunted me for the last 46 years.
