Magister Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Does anybody know anything about a story going round that our youth section picked up a keeper who had been released by City. Said keeper then played up front in an emergency and scored a hat trick....he has not stopped scoring since and City have signed him back as a striker for a very lucrative fee? bollocks or founded in truth?

I'd double check that this rumour didn't start in early April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have tried it with Kettings in the first team last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Jon Hallworth had a go in a league match in the mid 90's I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the second leg of a 2 leg League Cup fixture v West Ham, the first being the 6-0 St Valentine's Day Massacre game. As we were 6-0 up Joe chose a goalkeeper on the sub's bench, even though we only had 2 subs at the time. Then there were 2 injuries so they stuck Hallworth in centre mid.

Is that true or just an urban myth? I was at the game and remember being very convinced we'd cock it up, being chased past the Boleyn pub and a keeper being on the bench (another story) but did he actually come on?

AndyGortonsMatches Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Palace away 95/96 I reckon it was - we came from 2 down - Hallworth came off the bench as a striker then had a clear header to win it but fluffed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossleyblue Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The way it's going we need to turn a goal scorer into a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that! I was wrong about some of the details...interesting how we create false memories, the human mind is a complex thing.
