I have been critical of him in the past but credit where credit is due. The last two penalties that he has faced, he has played the mind games really we'll and not conceded from them. Just a thought but if he had done this last season and maybe half of those conceded had been missed / saved, we may have made the play offs!

Speaking of Jussi, I believe his lad is very good

 

Yes, but ....

 

he seems quite short, so a growth spurt in the next 2 years is needed to give him any chance, I suspect.

The new Kevin Rose.  MMW.

If he's half as good as his dad was, he'll do fine.

Wasn't Eddie Hopkinson a bit of a midget as well?

Yes, but 6ft 3in+ goalies were rare in those days. Now they are the norm.

My dad was only just over 5'10" and he was a goalie, a good one apparently. 6'3" an above folk back then were freakish anyway, weren't they?

Neil Edwards of Stockport and Rochdale was a small un

Bo Hansen.

 

Edit.,,,

 

Just googled him to see where he went after us and I see that he made 96 appearances for us!

 

Fuck me I can only remember 2-3 games he played in and wouldn't recognise him if he was lay in bed next to me now.

 5'8", a midget in goalie terms, England's no.1 for a while.

just looked on wiki, sez 5'10" on there

 

 

then again it sez 5'11 for Banks, not having that

Never had a problem with banks being small till that header got looped over him in play off final
