Timeline

1949

Christopher Garland (24 April 1949 – 13 July 2023) was an English footballer who played in all four divisions of the Football League.

He was capped once by England at under-23 level.

Garland was born on 24 April 1949 in Ashton Gate, Bristol, England, the second son of Grace and George William Henry, a factory worker and lorry driver respectively.

1964

He attended a trial for England Schoolboys, and was signed up as an apprentice at Bristol City in 1964.

However, he broke his leg in a park kick-around with friends, and was severely reprimanded by manager Fred Ford.

1966

A forward, he began his professional career with local club Bristol City in April 1966.

He made his Second Division debut at Ashton Gate Stadium on 3 December 1966, in a 2–0 victory over Preston North End.

This was his only appearance of the 1966–67 season, and the "Robins" went on to finish in 15th place.

1967

Ford was sacked early in the 1967–68 campaign, and caretaker-manager Les Bardsley made wholesale changes to the first eleven, including a recall for Garland.

He played all three of Bardsley's games in charge, and scored in the 3–3 draw with Hull City.

He started in new manager Alan Dicks's second game in charge, and remained a first team regular throughout the rest of the season, scoring nine goals in 32 league and cup games.

In the FA Cup the club beat Bristol derby rivals Bristol Rovers and Middlesbrough, before losing 2–0 to Leeds United in a bad tempered game that saw Gary Sprake sent off for punching Garland in the jaw.

1968

Garland formed an effective strike partnership with big target man John Galley in the 1968–69 and 1969–70 seasons, and was linked with moves away to bigger clubs.

1970

On 8 April 1970, Garland won his only international cap, for England under-23 in a 4–1 win over Bulgaria at Home Park; he was a substitute for Paul Edwards.

City finished in 19th place in the 1970–71 season, four points above the relegation zone.

1971

He was sold to Chelsea for £100,000 in 1971, and went on to play on the losing side of the 1972 League Cup final.

Garland was sold to Dave Sexton's Chelsea for £100,000 in September 1971.

He was signed as a squad player and found first team opportunities limited, especially after spending a month out injured following a bad tackle from Nottingham Forest's Barry Lyon.

He scored his first goal for the club in his fifth appearance, in a League Cup semi-final win over Tottenham Hotspur; he also scored in the second leg.

He went on to sing with the rest of the team in Blue Is the Colour, a song to coincide with the final, which went on to reach number five in the charts.

He played in the final at Wembley Stadium, in which Chelsea lost 2–1 to Stoke City.

The "Pensioners" finished the 1971–72 campaign seventh in the First Division.

1972

Garland finished as the club's joint top-scorer (with Peter Osgood) in the 1972–73 season with 11 goals, but Chelsea dropped to 12th in the league.

1973

The 1973–74 campaign was worse for the club, as star players like Osgood, Alan Hudson and David Webb and management fell out, and they dropped to 17th place in the league.

1974

He joined Leicester City in 1974, before returning to Bristol City in November 1976.

Sexton was sacked in October 1974, and his replacement Ron Suart only lasted until April.

New boss Eddie McCreadie allowed Garland to leave the club after receiving bids from Leicester City and Everton that matched the fee Chelsea had paid for Garland.

In total he scored 31 goals in 114 league and cup appearances for Chelsea.

Chelsea declined in the immediate aftermath of his departure, and suffered relegation at the end of the 1974–75 season.

Garland was sold to Leicester City for £100,000 in 1974; he agreed to join the club without speaking to Everton as he was convinced by manager Jimmy Bloomfield that Leicester were the right club for him.

He scored eight goals in ten matches, including a hat-trick in a 3–2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Filbert Street on 22 March, to help the "Foxes" to finish three points above the First Division relegation zone at the end of the 1974–75 season.

1975

He was one of three regular rotated forwards in the 1975–76 campaign, alongside Frank Worthington and Bob Lee, and City went on to finish seventh; he claimed another hat-trick in a 3–0 FA Cup victory over Sheffield United on 3 January.

1976

He scored three goals at the start of the 1976–77 season, but broke Jeff Blockley's cheekbone after punching him during training for what Garland believed was Blockley's rough treatment of the club's apprentices.

Garland placed four transfer requests, and was eventually sold back to his hometown club.

Garland was sold to his former club Bristol City for a £110,000 fee in November 1976; during his absence the club had reached the First Division while still under the stewardship of Alan Dicks.

Dicks planned to use Garland in a strike partnership with target man Paul Cheesley, but a severe injury to Cheesley meant that Garland had to play as the target man centre-forward despite his small stature.

He initially struggled in the role, but Dicks had no other suitable replacements other than Tom Ritchie, who also was not a natural centre-forward.

1982

The club underwent a dramatic decline from the First Division to the Fourth Division and he had to accept a termination of his contract for half the amount due in 1982, though he went on to remain at the club for another season.

He later played for Gloucester City, coached at Yeovil Town and managed Minehead.

2017

He recovered and went on to sign professional terms with the club five days after his 17th birthday.
