Bristol's Johnson: We need a hero
From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
BRISTOL CITY boss Lee Johnson has urged his players to believe they can emulate the club’s famous giant-killing against Liverpool when they host Manchester United in tonight’s League Cup quarter-final.
The Robins pulled off a shock 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay victory at Anfield in 1994, with Brian Tinnion netting the winner.
Johnson referred to that moment as he spoke before tonight’s match of his men needing to “feel somebody could be that hero” against United.
