Saying how sad it made him that our "great fans were being let down". He has absolutely nothing to gain from saying it, he said it because he truly believes it. He is a top person and genuinely a City legend. Oh Basso! Oh Basso! I used to love that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Graham - so simple but it went around the ground brilliantly Would like to see him here as the keeping coach With him and Scotty on the pitch pre match, the crowd would get going early !!

Robin1988 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Anyone remember that audacious backheel to get himself out of the shit he did that left everyone laughing so much we all missed City hitting the woodwork at the other end 30 seconds later?

On the weekend that we let a 3 goal lead go at Derby, he got sent off for FC United as they also drew 3-3 after being 3-0 up. It's like he's with us in spirit!

Really liked him and I believe he was absolutely instrumental to that season, in performances and in leading by example. Unfortunately I struggle to forget that he handed in a transfer request here. Because of that I'll struggle to see him as a legend. Can totally understand why he did it and though it didn't work out, wouldn't say he was wrong to; but for me legends don't do that.

southvillekiddy Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Only goalie I've ever seen flying like Superman across his goalmouth at full stretch and completely horizontal and what seemed like 2 metres above the ground! What a bloke and what magical times they were back then. Got to say GJ could find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on a pay as you play contract at FC united. Nothing to it other than he wanted the guaranteed wage I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to have a bloody good read about the career of a truly mental keeper read Lutz Pfannenstiel`s autobiography The Unstoppable Keeper. He takes bonkers to a whole new level.
