Bird was a bit of a utility player across the defence or midfield and on the odd occasion played wide on the right but even though he had the ability to beat his man his ungainly style usually saw him in a heap on the floor as he attempted to put over a cross. He spent the best part of two seasons with the club, leaving after Murphy was sacked and heading up the M5 to Worcester for an extra £20 per week! Later on he was a member of Frank Gregan's Weston Super Mare team that won promotion to the Conference South.   Clubs: Kington Langley, Chippenham Town, Trowbridge Town, Gloucester City, Worcester City, Witney Town, Weston Super Mare Appearances & Goals: Season Apps Subs Goals  1994/95    53      -      3    1995/96    41      -      -   Total   94      -      3   Page last updated : 16th January 2009 Tiger Roar is an unofficial, independant production.
