These days they are rolling in it for being bobbar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) There is not enough romance in the game these days. We all know, past players as managers don't work - at least not for us. But having the big man back at Hillsborough in some capacity would really really tell some of us now older fans that the club understands what we are all about. There is no position available suitable though, as the current coach is doing exceptionally well. Edited June 1, 2018 by HubristicClapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shot stopper and wouldn't have done the Woods Jesus hands routine. Where one of our defenders just stood and watched it go in as well, wasn't it Worthington ? Calamity defending by all, sadly I was at that match and honestly thought we could do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWEDFM Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I love Pressman, as others have said deserves a testimonial no two ways about it. He played for us for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Probably my all time favorite Wednesday player, was fortunate enough to meet him after the Gillingham game some years ago, he came over over gave a firm handshake and said " I'm Kevin Pressman pleased to meet you", I was star struck and replied "I know" On a serious note the way he was treated by some manager namely Wilson was nothing short of a disgrace. He should have had a testimonial and I would him back as our goalkeeping coach in a heartbeat. Best keeper I've seen in my 37 years as a Wednesday fan and the best keeper never to play for England.

Ever the pessimist Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 He saved his best matches for the pigs. Which was great. Coincidental he he ended up at milwall: remember the fan confronting him on the pitch there in the mid 90s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worthington not the one at Old Trafford just watching as Bruce’s 175th minute header went a few inches over his head? Think at Wembley Woods had kind of knocked it beyond any defender on the line. I haven’t watched it back since and probably never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But goes on to say the way we gave youth a change and beat the blades. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/dec/10/sport.comment That was in 2000 in the first season down. He must has signed a new deal after this article as he was here till around 2004 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBob Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I remember going to a game 98 ish, we met the players getting out of their cars. After I met Pressman I tryed/touched his door handle. A week/days later it was in the paper someone tryed stealing his car and he chased them down the road in his pants. Or did I dream that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was totally true and very predictable Whenever the opposition attacked and scored 9 times out of 10 it would just be a shot low to Pressman's left or right hand side He'd arrive on the ground about 6 seconds later making the shot look like a worldie when in fact the whole of the division's strikers sussed out that they just had to shoot low to either side of him Was excruciating - especially towards the end Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
