mcmigo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 a very good goalkeeper, let down in later seasons by a dreadful defence. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Even managed to chase after two burglars who tried to rob his house and held them till the police arrived! it might have been one but two sounds more impressive 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Overall he was a very good keeper for Wednesday. But I do think he let himself down a bit in his last couple of seasons with putting weight on and he always seemed to have problems with low shots to the corner you expected him to save and couldn't quite get there. But do remember 2 or 3 games v Sheffield United were he was outstanding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Was a great keeper, bit slow at getting down to low shots though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbagMcgraw Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I idolised Pressman when I was a kid. What a servant he was! Stayed with us after relegation as well, when he clearly could have stayed playing in the Premiership....legend! Remember him getting sent off in that Wolves game though pretty early on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Wylde Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Versus Sheffield United 10/10 every time. Rest of the time 8/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Was my ex next door neighbor at Chesterfield. We became good friends. He used to come over to my house Friday evenings whilst his wife put kids to bed and for a chill before big games at home on the Saturday. Cracking bloke and went on many a night out with him and his wife into Sheffield. Once had a party at mine and he invited Jim Magilton over as well. Happy days. Thought his son Thomas might make a keeper as he had a small keeping set up in his back garden but seems not. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadABallacks Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Great keeper. My friends parents lived near him in Derbyshire, post playing career. Questionable, but he reckons he was known locally as the flying potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 He'd be getting into the England squad these days, no question imo. Think he was a tad unlucky that we had a lot of very good keepers about when he was in his prime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Only caught the back end of his career when I was a kid, but remember loving him and buying the keeper top because of him. My mum loved him and used to tell me about him being called up for England B. Miss goalkeepers like Pressman - massive and could plough their way through a corner and just pick the ball out of the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 excellent keeper, much better than Wood 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidstoneowl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 He strong but carry bit to much of weight at end could beat at near post some time struggle to get down but very good The flapper man Chris WOOD he was the terrible one with cross coming over him and look scarey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good quality top flight keeper, nearly but not quite a great keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
