Outfield Goalkeepers

[Brown Edge Normski]

With all the recent talk about Popey having to go between the sticks if big Sam gets injured during a game it got me thinking.

If I'm not mistaken one night match away to Blackpool our goalkeeper (think it was Connaughton or Ball) had to go off for treatment to an injury. Ally Brown stepped into the breach for a period until the keeper came back on.

Think we managed a draw.:anyonesign:

Andy jones did the honours as well. Seems like forwards are better keepers?

[Brown Edge Normski]

When did Andy play between the sticks?

When did Andy play between the sticks?

 

August '86 at home to Rotherham after Mark Grew got injured.

 

I seem to remember Liam Burns having to go in goal too but can't remember who against.

Thiught it was for grewy. Have no idea how people can remember dates like that though. Faces yes, but I can't remember what data it was yesterday.

I remember Paul miller being the potential stand in but not sure he actually got a chance. Always used to wear the gloves during the warm up though.

'Twas against Wigan. He played an hour and kept a clean sheet.

The following week away at Brentford Jones had to go in goal again for a while when Jim Arnold was receiving treatment for an injury.

I forgot he came back, before we signed alex Williams? Amazing to think Jim Arnold only started as a professional keeper aged nearly 30, yet sill sat on the bench during a European final.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Can't we play rush goalie?

I have to look on Soccerbase to check the dates but I remember the game well, Grew did his knee in and was out for most of the season and we lost Alan Webb for part of the game too while he had stitches in a bad head wound but he returned the hero with a bandage on and covered in blood.:)

****** hell that brings it all back. Was only a young un. We don't get the 'terry butcher' moments anymore.

[Brown Edge Normski]

That Soccerbase is a bit behind the times, its still got Bill Pratt as Chairman.

[Phil]

Also remember Brian Horton and Tommy McLaren having a turn in goal. Gareth Ainsworth had a spell in goal for Preston at Vale the season we lost to WBA in the play offs.

[Santa]

That was the first time Ainsworth wore a Vale shirt. The Preston keeper (Simon Farnworth) got stretchered off in his so we had to find a spare top for him.

 

In my time watching Vale I can only remember Liam Burns v Wigan and Paul Millar on the Boundary Park plastic.

[Spunk Trumpet]

Neil Brisco end up between the sticks once?

 

EDIT.

Now Santa mentions it i think it was Liam Burns.
