Emerson Thome 1,804 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This hasn't happened in a while.... Who was the best? Who was the worst? Anyone's favourite memories of an an outfield player in goal? Any others that I'm missing? (Don't say Ola Tidman) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
A12owl 12,794 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I thought we had more goalie injuries and Bannan was going to be in goal. Phew. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

pazowl55 8,437 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Nuhiu was a keeper in training. Apparently he was very good at it. Messing around and stuff I mean. Edited December 2, 2020 by pazowl55 Link to post Share on other sites
Emerson Thome 1,804 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Ah - nice one, yeah, for the last 7 minutes: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40785916 Matches David Hirst's achievement of scoring a goal and keeping a clean sheet. (Although if its only a few minutes does it count as a sheet. Clean pillow cover?) Link to post Share on other sites

Kew Owl 905 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I remember Lee Bullen playing in goal at Millwall once when David Lucas went off injured and we had no goalkeeper on the subs bench 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lime Tree Heros 315 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Lee Bullen vs Millwall away a few years back, went in the net before HT IIRC, somehow kept a clean sheet and we won 1-0 with a runaway Frankie Simek goal scored while Millwall players were celebrating their own disallowed goal Link to post Share on other sites
Bearwood Owl1 475 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'm fairly sure that I saw Vinnie Jones in goal for the opposition at Hillsborough in the late 80s/early90s. Maybe for Chelsea? Link to post Share on other sites

Onge 1,206 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Bullen is the obvious answer. One of my favourite ever away games. Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs Owl 2,635 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Only one stand out performance for me. Dec 1963 top division v Blackpool at Hillsborough. Ron Springett, arguably our best ever keeper, pulls up after taking a goalkick on about 20 minutes. No substitutes allowed. Bronco Layne, our main scorer, goes in goal and we play for 70 minutes with ten men. Some brilliant defensive work means Bronco hardly has a shot to save, even though they have 3 England internationals up front. Ray Charnley, Parry and Alan Ball. We cling on and eight minutes from time, Eddie Holiday scores to give us a 1-0 win. One of the best battling performances I've ever seen from us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
