A quick look back at some of the things that went on away from Portman Rd and off the football pitch. i am glad that I was this side of the camera, early days of one our little trips to Florida. Clive Woods, AB and Eric along the back with Keiron Baker, Robin Turner, The Beat, Tommy Parkin and Nigel Crouch. We had a few good trips away with Ipswich, pre season in Florida was hard work, honestly, all that running we had to do along the beach. Just going add a couple of pre season game pictures. This next picture was part of one of the best trips ever. In 1994 I took Bristol City to Zimbabwe at the the end of the season. We stayed in Harare for a few days and then moved up to Elephant Hills, next to Victoria Falls. The players in the photograph wanted to go bungee jumping, which I thought was too dangerous, so we compromised and myself and the senior players paid for all the playing staff to go White Water Rafting down the Zambezi River. Dangerous but not quite as dangerous as bungee jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge! Sorry about the poor quality of the photograph.

Always a great read Russ, very diverse at times, seen Mrs O on here a few times, even remember catching 'Rita Butcher' thrown in once and Baxter made an appearance once (hope he's okay). Look forward to the RO blog!
