Utah Owl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Chris Turner was only 5'10" as was Ron Springett. The case for the defence rests M'Lud! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAGrumbleFromImre Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 It was just that Forest keeper seemed to fill the goal somehow - I think officially they are the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Showing my age here but Paul Cooper who played for Ipswich in the late 70,s had an unrivalled reputation for saving penalties and he was five feet ten. Also, I played with a keeper who was nineteen stone and he was diabolical, especially on a Sunday morning after a heavy night. On many occasions he was late for kick off .

Yeah, but could he kick it out to a team mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's even more remarkable is Paul Cooper dovetailed his football career with his main role in the Dukes of Hazard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daizan10 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think that having a good goal keeper is what really matters. I mean look at Jorge Campos. 5'7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a mistake at the time but Jack knew his players better than me. Anyway, Bob went to Liverpool and Chris went to Sunderland and Man U so they both had decent careers. Ron Springett had long since gone as you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
