Memories of his career?

 

[Connor]

My favourite memory of him is when he clapped the Reds either at half time or before the game a few years back and they then invented clapping opposing goalkeepers as a sign of respect

 

[sageyefc]

Thought he retired years ago

 

[KaiserEFC]

One of the all time greats who never did and still doesn’t get the adulation they deserve imo. Not as glamorous as Neur and DDG earlier on in their careers but definitely a better keeper.

The constant comparisons to Valdes just because the badly who couldn’t catch a cold played for Barcelona were a joke too

 

[The binman chronicles]

Meh. Overrated.

Had one terrible season for wolves on my PlayStation and got binned.

Legend

when he caught that sandwich

At least he’s fit and healthy now, didn’t he have a mini heart attack not long ago?

He did and you are quite right that is the main thing that he is still fit and healthy to have played up till now to make that call.

The one on one save from Robben https://www.tokyvideo.com/video/arjen-robben-miss-vs-casillas-world-cup

The Dutch were a disgrace that match, no way they deserved to win. Always gets billed as a Robben miss, but great keeping.

Believe it’s because Real have got him a job as a consultant I believe, rightly so, done a tremendous job for them over the years.

I hope he's healthy. It's happening less and less but GK have always been fat lazy effs. I just never understood the guy who decides to play football and wants to be the one who can use his hands. Idk gk are nuts generally.

Plus they always blame everyone else for their problems.

Having been a goalkeeper myself I can kind of agree with you, though you'd be surprised on fitness at least for a good portion of their career. You have to fetch a lot of balls from wayward shots when you are starting out.
