There's a long long list of random Town keepers, some Premier League players, or at least bench warmers: Shane Cook, Jon Sheffield, Alan Flanagan (MOM at Sheff Utd and never seen again), Craig Farr, Lanzano, Richard McKinney, Rhys Evans...Then a few who you simply cannot believe had as many appearances for us as they did, Jimmy Glass, Bart Griemink.... Talia had his moments and was even named Player of the Year, so he's exempted from the longlist of poor keepers.

Yes.

A dishonourable mention to Alistair Sperring, played one LC game in 84 v Rovers...we got beat 5-1 and that was it for him.

On loan from Soton...

Sperring is possibly the worst keeper I have seen play for the Town, worse than Key (who did a brave job at Ipswich) and Lanzano who is probably the 2nd worst keeper I have seen in a Town shirt.

Here is Sperring in all his gory glory, he also came out to claim a lot of crosses and missed them totally as well IIRC, similar to his 5th goal conceded but got away with them, it could have easily been 7 or 8 goals let in that day.

Quote from: Tails
Talia was crap but gave one of the best goalkeeping performances I've ever witnessed away at Charlton so I remember him fondly!
had a good game at old Trafford too in the LC iirc.

didn't think Bart was that bad myself btw

If that's Sperring at his worst then Belford's performance at Scunthorpe trumps it comfortably!

Sort of reminds me of pitching up at Elm Park, Boxing Day 87. To find some bloke in goal who wasn't Fraser or Nicky Hammond.
Fraser had bust his thumb earlier in the season....Lou obviously didn't fully trust Hammond, so got Tim Flowers in, when his loan ran out, Hammond came back in, but he got injured in training just before Christmas.

As there was no media news because of the hols...had no idea who he was, let alone heard of him. It transpired it was Paul Crichton who Forest had let us have for the emergency....we won 1-0. Hopefully Kean can have a similar impact.

Crichton was still going at 40 and picking up a pay cheque for coaching and bench sitting....goalkeeping can be a very decent career.

Not really, what he's done is real stupid. I'd be interested to hear Williams tone when talking about it as he comes across as pretty pissed off reading the article.  It's on the front page of the BBC football section as well and just looks embarrassing.

Think Williams will be ok as they just said on the radio that he and Embleton were with Nelford at the speedway in the week.

Agree we need cover for now, but would like to see young Will Henry given his chance as soon as (hopefully) we are comfortable about not being relegated.

So, from those who have been to either of the last two games, what's the impression of Kean? Looks like a keeper, rather than a gym fiend, which is a good start I guess. Appears solid enough on the comms and highlights but impossible to tell from afar.

Guess he wouldn't come here as number 2 (nor would we run a squad with three senior keepers), but given we're in the market for a new number 1 this summer.....

I've got to admit after seeing him on Saturday, I was more comfortable with him in goal than Belford, but maybe that was because we mostly stopped pratting about with the ball at the back.

In all honesty not had that much to do last 2 games, his distribution seems decent and he's certainly commanding - handling seems to be good.

I'd echo the above posts - early days, but looks comfortable enough, and a definite improvement on Belford.

On the basis that his emergency loan only lasts for 7 days, but the relevant 'emergency' is still ongoing, I assume that we just keep extending it every week.
