NA was a goalie

[Huffton]

Didn't realise he used to play in between the sticks, he's just gone up even further in my estimation!

How many other ex-keepers have made it in management? Bryan Gunn is the only one I can think of, although he didn't really 'make it' in all fairness...

[marc_saint]

Peter Shilton managed Plymouth for a few years but didn't do too much. Can't think of too many others.

The last pope, John Paul II, was a goal keeper:rolleyes:

Billy the Fish was caretaker manager at Fulchester Rovers quite successfully on a number of occasions after regular manager Tommy Brown's various transgressions (open heart surgery on pitch, revealed to be a woman, etc.)

[doubleonothing]

Neville Southall was has mainly managed at non-league level (not sure if he has ever had a league club)

[saint_bert]

Kevin Blackwell was a GK

 

Edit;- didnt see his name was all ready mentioned

[Big John]

Gordon Ramsay - one of the ugly sisters

 

Juilo Iglesias - Real Madrid

(Enrique's dad for you young'uns)

[saintedwill]

Stanley Menzo's a manager at the moment, but not a very good one

[VectisSaint]

Article on this on the Guardian from 2007, evidently Raymond Goethals is arguably the most successful (who? never heard of him). Bruce Arena was also a keeper.

Michel Preud'homme

[stknowle]

David Icke, Saviour of the Earth, was a GK for Coventry I do believe.

[Foxstone]

Was'nt Pavarotti a goalkeeper too in his youth ?

[Ohio Saint]

we can laugh at him, and I certainly have, but what if he was right all along about the lizards we'll feel like such fools

This place is so negative. Everyone is so quick to have a pop at the manager - "Burley was a drunk", "Pardew was a philanderer", "Adkins was a goalkeeper", etc. Who'd be Saints' manager with fans like this?

Me. I'm a smackhead.

 

On a serious note the methadrone is helping...

 

On a slightly less serious (but perhaps more on topic) note Peter Taylor was a goalkeeper...and as we all know he knew his sh:t when it came to the football.

Blimey NA was a goal keeper .... does he have any more skeletons in his cupboard.

[SW11_Saint]

Jock Wallace (Rangers).

 

Adkins was of course also a physio, as was Liverpool legend Bob Paisley.

 

Boring but true.

 

I really like Adkins from what I've seen. Seems like a really sound bloke.

[beancounter saint]

Didn't one of Westlife play for Leeds youth sides as a goalie?

Nah mate he was a Secretary - good at short hand apparently

The last pope, John Paul II, was a goal keeper:rolleyes:

That's why he was so good at handling crosses.

 

Chris Turner( ex-Sheffiled Wednesday manager?) was a goalkeeper.
