Apart from the many great saves , the fondest memory is when he sits with his back to the post at half time ." Wos going on mate.?" Shrug of shoulders. Meanwhile in the dressing room, lots of shrugging of shoulders , Nev being Nev.
 

fair play to Sky on this one - I've always laughed when they have a "daniel sturridge - from rags to riches" or "steven gerrard - a modern hero" type shows on after every liverpool game, surprised they've done one for us really!
 
When he played for Bury, before his move to Everton, the manager used to 'drop' him from training sessions as he was so good the morale of the strikers suffered!
 
happy birthday to our greatest goalie,57 years old,and I personally have never seen better since.

Hinchcliffe once told me Nev used to have him firing free kicks from 25 yards at him in training with his arms tied behind his back and his legs tied together,his thinking was to make it as difficult as possible for himself so as in a match it would almost seem easy,mad as a box of frogs but what a keeperlol
 

Happy birthday Big Man. You were so good you made Peter Schmeichel look like Bruce Grobbelaar.

And I can tell you this, If you hadn't got injured in 1986, we WOULD have won the double, not that shower from Analfield.
