Quality Front Man

Well he was named as sub once Reg and the nearest I could get to a keeper was Alan Churchward(en)

Geoff Crook had one game in goal in 1960 in goal- a dubious profession as a crook, but raised to a fine art by later STFC employees

 Blimey...there's a name I've completely missed until now..Crook's only appearance was in the FA Cup replay v Bath at Twerton....Bronco Layne scored 4...it ended up 6-4 to us.

 Not only later employees, he may have been around when the previous season we had Jimmy Gauld, Jack Fountain, Walter Bingley and Layne, 3 of whom ended up at her Majesty's Pleasure for match fixing...Bingley being teh one getting off.

Reg, was he the keeper who loved to swing from the crossbar like a monkey? We thought it very amusing at the time...

 Just before my time....Kenny Allen was a Monkey Hanger, he played at the CG for Hpool in 69, just 20, didn't make it there, drifted into non league football for 10 years...then signed for us in 85, aged 36.

Best save that sticks out in my mind by a Town keeper was a save from Frazer Digby away to Sheff Utd..ironically it was  a firm header by ex town favourite Flortoft,he was going the wrong way but somehow twisted in mid air to push it over,i was in the away end right behind and can remember it like yesterday..incredible save.
Incidently i can remember going to Sheff Utd first day many years back,Mayes put us one up we hammered them yet Argentinian Alex Sabella scored twice to beat us..often think Sheff Utd get amazing loads of luck at there ground.

brez's save vs swansea is probably the best i've seen from a town keeper.if not, i cannot remember a better one at the moment

Best save in a town shirt for me was Scott Endersby away at Carlisle in about 83 or 84 cant remember now, in an FA cup game when they were 2 divisions higher than us.

It was similar to the Banks save from Pele, big strikers header from about 4 yards flying in the bottom corner when Scotty tipped it up over the bar from about 1 foot off the ground.

If Scotty was taller than 5 foot 9 he would have been a great keeper...that and being an alcoholic I guess.

I would guess Endersby felt better that day than a few years later when he played for Carlisle against us. Town fans were on top form that day and 6 pints of old peculiar in an hour was suicidal.
