22A Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Like many of my generation, Mike Gibson has been City's best goalie. Here he recalls his time with City on Youtube 6 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Gomes Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Always remember when he took his position in goal. Taking a few strides along the goal line and jumping to touch the crossbar. He wasn’t the biggest! But agree our best.

Odd socks Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Great keeper. Find memories of his heroics in goal . Most of the time the playing surface was just mud , I wonder how goal keepers could cope with those conditions now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Seeing his name as the thread title I thought the worst . My first keeper, and in all that time you could count his poor games on the finger of one finger ! The only one I can remember was a 3-3 home draw on a Friday night v Pompey, two of them were his ricks......... but that's all . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was actually Chris Crowe as it rhymes better. It was a close run thing but on balance Eusebio was probably better though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the highlights of Man U and Brentford,poor keeping all round.The Luton keeper gets a hand to Spurs half hit shot and it still goes in. I do wonder if our regular doom mongers ever watch any other teams. Btw I'm sure Cornick would have tucked away that tap in for Luton?

Can remember him playing up front with Jim Fryatt at Torquay, rumour was Stubbs was shagging big Jims Mrs and they had a scrap, Remember that Stubbs had a black eye and Fryatt left soon after.!!!!

1960maaan Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 My Dad's mate was a friend of Gibbo, he got my autograph book signed by all the City players, then when he moved to Gillingham he got those too.
