COYR I’d love him back here... strikes me his positivity would be just what’s needed now! Also, funny how things turn out. He was shunned for not signing a contract.... fast forward and we are now relying on half a squad whose contracts are running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 He would definitely be a good addition, if he’s good at his job! Because his personality would be a breath of fresh air I would imagine. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable. He had the quickest feet of any keeper I think I've ever seen. Sounds like an odd trait for a keeper, but it meant that he was always perfectly placed to launch himself into one of those leaps with the minutest of time to prepare. My over-riding memory of him is coming round from concussion at Yeovil (I think) and almost laying one on our trainer for daring to suggest that he might have to come off.

Great keeper - brilliantly agile , as you rightly say , and inspirational too Think the inspirational , and character traits , of some players are undervalued a lot Like Bentley , a match / points winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to make a similar comment! He was adequate as a keeper, half his spectacular saves were relatively simple ones exaggerated for a camera lense and distribution was no better than average. Did he not also throw his toys out of his favela trying to get a transfer when no offer had been received? Yeah, get that he made the odd favourable comment and signed autographs with some religious guff on it, but the way some seem to remember him, you'd think he was the greatest keeper we'd ever had.

Savino Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Jeez, now you’ve started something - our greatest keeper ever? My favourite was Mike “Gibbo” Gibson, and always the 1-2-3-4 steps and jump up to touch the bar at the start of every game, marvellous. Also wonder goal scorer Ray Cashley who knocks on my door every couple of months representing W-S-M football club fund-raising, great banter when I ask him what it was like, haha! 9 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: Thank god for that.
