The others were Steve Hardwick who (at least according to this site http://www.goalkeepersaredifferent.com/ ... epers.html) scored 8 goals

I don’t believe that. Unless he played up front for the youth team or something. But 8 first team goals for Newcastle United? No way.

Wasn't it Blackpool? No idea who the other keeper who scored against us was. Speaking of goalscoring keepers I believe we have had 4 not already mentioned who have scored goals (albeit not for us). One is easy to get, one scored 8 goals over the course of his career, one was probably our most famou...

Yeah... well I personally wished there had been fewer Orient fans at the home game in 2005/6. So long as we sell out to home fans, I couldn’t give a flying firoz about away fans. Give ‘em the minimum allocation, always. But we’re not selling out to home fans are we? In fact we’re averaging about th...

Preston retro game - when goalkeeper Alan Kelly played on the wing with his arm in a sling. https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/preston-north-end/pne-news/preston-retro-game-when-goalkeeper-alan-kelly-played-on-the-left-wing-with-his-arm-in-a-sling-against-oxford-united-in-1971-1-10088554 http://w...

You’re welcome!

Also our current three seasons in the third tier I don't remember ever being as high as fourth. Depends how you count it. When Gino van Kessel bamboozled the Pompey defence to seal a 3-0 win two short seasons ago, we went top of the L1 table with 6 points from 2 games. So we've been higher than fou...

Yep - home to Villa or Leicester probably the only two less enticing draws than this for me. Would have loved a trip to a proper big PL ground. Oh well, we’re a better team now than when we played them last. Anyone know how many ties are televised? Man U v Colchester is a shoe-in for TV, but we must...

Definitely not Colchester away! I don't know, it would be a new ground to visit at least. Probably get a better view than at Layer Road too, though I have fond memories of half-seeing Phil Whelan score a winning goal while sat on his arse there once. Anyone else noticed that we've been drawn at hom...

1-1 against Sunderland - who’d have thunk it? In recent previous versions of that result we’ve been unlucky not to win. Last night not so much. A slightly scratchy performance against a team who were considerably better than Rochdale. We rode our luck in the first quarter as Sunderland looked to get...

It does feel wrong to be critical, but I also thought we should have put Rochdale to bed a bit earlier, particularly once they went down to ten men. Not just because we seemed to take our foot off the gas a bit, but there were some sloppy moments too. But we are a pleasure to watch at the moment, an...

Just seen on Facebook the news that one of our this forum's members, Andy James aka Womble, has died. It will be strange and sad not to see him at away games. I knew he'd been ill, but the last time I had a good chat with him - on New Year's Day walking from Home Park to Plymouth Station - he seemed...

He was the real bright spark in the first quarter of the West Ham game too. Real quality passing. Shame for him and Us too I reckon.

At least we have Baptiste who seems to do a similar job. As long as he stays injury free for once...

That second half has to rate as one of the very best OUFC performances I’ve ever witnessed. We held the Hammers reasonably comfortably in the first half - forget the possession stats, we had the better chances - and then completely overran them after the break. No need to single anyone out. We were ...

Ridiculous scoreline! I'd be interested to know from those that were there whether we played like world-beaters, or if it was more a case of everything we hit going in - ie was it quality finishing for once, or a top quality display all round? I was abroad (we always seem to have great results when ...

One team looked fitter One team looked like they wanted it more One team could pass to their own men One team didn't just hoof it aimlessly from the back on many occasions One team broke in numbers (at least in the first half) One team tested the opposition keeper on numerous occasions That team wa...
