Likewise, Gordon Marshall, at East End, on Hogmanay, chucking them in. Got to be Marshall’s worst ever game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 34 but retired now. He’s a personal trainer now based in Liverpool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our family/friend group would always wind up any of them that were sat near us to the absolute max. A couple of old boys who were clearly Celtic fans sat in front of us when we won 1-0 in the game Kasper saved a penalty. Every now and then we'd make snarky remarks about Celtic players, their ground or their fans and the two old duffers would turn round and glare at us. It wasn't exactly hard either given they had Lennon, Presley and Hartley playing for them that day. A proper gallery of utter p***ks that would surround the ref at every decision either protesting innocence or looking for bookings to be dished out to Falkirk players. Good times. That was quality fun. Remember doing exactly the same to two fans of the old Rangers club. You could see the steam coming out their ears with every barb and insult. To be fair, they kept their heads down and said nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 "Drac" Olejnik as he hated crosses. Somehow managed to forge himself a decent living down south in the lower leagues. Fair play to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tea and Busquets Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 Off the field he was an absolute gentlemen and one of the nicest people I’ve met. My parents met him at an awards night one year and both said he was fantastic and spoke all night. My Mum thought he was genuinely a good guy and he became her favourite player for this reason (her not knowing anything about football). When she died a few years back, Bobby found out and got in touch. He donated to the charity for her and signed his match top which she had for years and went with her as she treasured it. Not the best keeper by any stretch but a thoroughly decent guy that we’ll never have a bad word to say about him. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejazz1 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 All this goalkeeping chat and not a mention of Daniel Mallo Castro - Now he was a class keeper. Another one of Yogi’s finds. I can’t believe he only played 15 times for us. He obviously made a big impression on me!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated Krul over Kasper at the time as recall KS being an excellent shot stopper but never coming for crosses. All were far better than Lambers, Higgins and Butter Flinders. I rated Kasper over Krul myself but it's amazing we had either keeper as our no1. Boabys issue as mentioned was crossed balls, decent shot stopper and was at times shafted by us altho when he was given the No1 Jersey he didn't progress. He obviously did in his move to England earning him a 300k+ transfer. I'm sure he started well at Peterborough and during that period he was quoted for silly money. He wasn't Mcgloves who has been the standard long term wise you look for, he could have a howler but week after its gone, that's the difference from decent to great. I don't think anyone will disagree in Fasan we reached a new low Edited November 18, 2021 by MrDust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe The Hype Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Bobby 'the beast' Olejnik, I bumped into him and few of the other Falkirk lads absolutely blotto on a night out in Stirling, seemed to be the soul of the party 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank von Hell Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 17 hours ago, kiddy said: Aye, that best ever finish in the Premier League. #Disaster! Couldn't recall him playing much in the season we finished 7th so had to look it up and was surprised he played 13 games (and 15 games the next season). He was an ever present in our relegation season, our 1 game in the League Cup & 1 game in the Scottish Cup , plus of course our European run in 2009/10. If you are trying to give him credit for the best ever finish then you need to give him credit for the "disaster" that followed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately some excellent goal keepers are simply limited a bit by their physiques. Dani was only 6 feet tall . 3 or 4 inches taller and he's getting that. One reason why a lot of goalkeepers these days are nearer 6'5' or even bigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice, unassuming and friendly guy. The players called him "Inspector gadget" as he was always into the latest tech. As part of that, he got interested in photography. After a game at Pittodrie, he walked down to where I was sitting on the team bus just as it left and started enquiring about cameras. When the bus pulled in to the Stadium 2 hours later, he was still standing there asking questions!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo was quite happy manning the turnstyles until Hartley decided that he was a goalkeeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
