Junior Bent must rank among the most irrepressibly cheerful players ever to have worn a Bristol City shirt. The diminutive attacker was the ‘go to’ for journalists like myself after a defeat because he could still be counted upon for a smile and some positive quotes.
Scott Murray filled a similar role during his time as a player. Maybe there is something about little wingers that keeps their chins up when those of team-mates are on their chests.
But even Bent’s bubbling enthusiasm must have been running short when this weekend’s opponents West Bromwich Albion visited Ashton Gate for a First Division game on April 17 1995.
