Seeing as Barthez is the oldest on your list, I will let it pass that you forgot Taibi and Bosnich..... it was dark days in goal during the Schmeichel transition
... :scust:

Taibi was absolutely rancid. The fanfare around him was pretty punchy, and I was gutted that reports suggested that Schmeichel mkII was on his way to Old Trafford.

Fergie fukked him off with the quickness, and doubtless would have done the same with Onana. The fact that Ferguson was picking van der Gouw over him says it all!

Prior to Schmeichel, there were some pretty awful keepers at united, from memory, Les Sealy being high on the list. I seem to remember United fans having a tough relationship with Jim Leighton, but I'll remember him well from time at Aberdeen & his caps for Scotland.

Didn't Andy Goram, both of them, appear at OT at some point too, or am I imagining that?

Les Sealy was decent for that year post Leighton dropping. Leighton was devoid of any confidence in 1990. Also iirc made 2 howlers at the World Cup that knocked Scotland out. Costa Rica goal in the first game and then spilled a shot that allowed Brasil to score the winner in the 3rd group game.

Yes Goram played for Yanited in 2001. He also played cricket for Scotland as a wicketkeeper.

Poor fukker (RIP) also had one of the funniest oppo chants, although maybe a bit spicy for modern times...

TWO ANDY GORAMS, THERE'S ONLY TWO ANDY GORAMS etc.

So good that maybe even the Rangers fans adopted it.

Goram was a backup but it was like a split second. I think when Walter Smith was an assistant, which would be the only logical reason for it. Sealy was decent from what i read, right before my time. Leighton just wasn't able to replicate the Aberdeen form for Fergie.

Makes sense with Goram - he must have been fukking huge by the time he wat at OT. Damn good keeper in his prime, though!!

One of the few midget keepers I actually rate. Amazing shotstopper. Not better than Jorge Campos tho. :mjgrin:

This will blow some people's minds - some of my fondest & earliest memories of football are the National Indoor 5 & 6-a-side tournies that the clubs used to play in the off-season!! When the VCR arrived of the latest games, it was as if life was complete!!

The fact that Arsenal were usually pretty damn good, particularly with Magic Merse and a few others coming to the fore, meant that they were IMPORTANT TOURNAMENTS to me!!

:russ::russ::russ:



Gutted when we lost this final.

This is a classic. Iirc at Wembley Arena? Usually at the end of the season. Also Bundesliga during the winter break they use to do 5-6 a side team tournament back in the 90's. Use to catch it on the ZDF channel when Sky was still satellite before it went to Digital in the late 90's.

Also the classic 100m sprint they had one season. When John Williams of Swansea win and got a move to Coventry the following game season
