Sanchez_Jenks Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 1 hour ago, LoadABallacks said: 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. I'm sure I read an article that referred to him as the flying cheeseburger once which was harsh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressman 1 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Best keeper in my time of watching wednesday,lost his way a bit towards the end but seemed to be overweight id have him back as keeper coach though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Early on he was an incredible shot stopper Too short and perceived as fat (and then was fat) to progress higher. Showed good reflexes at times with some wonder saves; but also was on the back of a few drubbings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Think he was very very good and should have played for England. He was let down by poor management and poor defence later on in his Wednesday career and he put on a bit of weight towards the end which hampered him getting low to the left hand side so in that respect he let himself down. But overall very very good. Appalling that he has still not had a testimonial game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 One of the reasons I got into Wednesday. Loved him. It’s an absolute disgrace he’s not had a testimonial. Watching Pressman step up in a penalty shootout and absolutely leather it in was one of the 90’s great sights. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought about adding a prefix of fuc to the 3rd word in addition to a subsequent useless to bring it really up to date? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millomowl Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Francis didn't need to buy Woods before the 91/2 season. Kev would of been at another level with his development at that time and pretty sure he would of saved Linighans header at Wembley!

REDOWL Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A good and reliable keeper in my view who served Wednesday proudly for several years and four hundred and seventy four games. His record speaks for itself methinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Probably still a better option than Wildsmith and Dawson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noleafclover Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Liked Woods but Loved Kev!!! Commanded and Led by example. Could have probably done really well if he was at a more fashionable club. Shame the club never gave him a proper send off. I'd love him to come back as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAWAW It is a long time ago but football managers at the time didn't think so. Pressman had been dropped by Atkinson half way through the Div. 2 season whereas Woods was the England No 1 and won nearly 50 caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 He was an excellent keeper who was playing at a time when there was far healthier competition for the England squad. If he were playing now, he would have gone to the Euros as England’s number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory superb games at spurs, l*****ool and esp at home to the pigs once. Yes good keeper, looking back there were so many good English keepers in the league. Not like now.

DSandersonOWL Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 He was definitely MASSIVE ! No doubt about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 In the promotion season he had a dodgy spell and got injured, Chris Turner came in and was superb. KP was porbably a bit green to eb a really top keeper so Francis bought Woods who was England number 1 and our first million pound player. Within a couple of years though KP got his place back. For reasons I never understood, Danny Wilson preferred Pavel Srnicek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
