Perry Digweed £150k...

[kevtherev]

With all the stick Casper seems to be getting atm. It got me thinking about Perry Digweed. If my memory serves me right, Im sure we paid Fulham £150k for him in 1981 when he had barely played a dozen or so games..What would that be in todays money...£4million...Seem to remember he was a real flapper, bit like Casper, but Perry's reflex's were right up there with the best...Other people's memories and view's on Diggers?

Perry Digweed..................safe as houses, the goalie in trousers!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

But boy did he pay for it personally !!!!! It makes me cringe even now after all these years.

179 apps over 12 seasons...God he spent some time in the stiffs, didn't he?....He was good value for money when he did play, either totally outstanding or totally shocking lol....I'm sure he won player of the year once..or that could be wrong?

 

[Daffy Duck]

I think he did win Player of the Year and I'm sure it was the season he got that awful injury against Forest.

Ooh, it makes me wince every time I think of it.

I remember all the gags about someone catching a testicle in the south stand, but what was the actual injury?

 

[Skaville]

Ps kevin bremner in goal. Who's idea was that!

 

[Norman Potting]

I remember it well - was at that game (midweek or is my memory playing tricks?). I think it was caused by a suicidal Gatting back pass which he had to dive at feet to stop, not sure if there as any malicious intent on the part of the player who caused the injury.

You were lucky, I was standing right by the tunnel as he walked off, with a huge red patch on the front of his shorts.

North side or South side, I was by the tunnel on the north side

Digweed had a talent for salmon leaps over the ball as it flew in the net. Also he was a puncher rather than a catcher. For me, he was another heart in mouth goalie and Casper is far superior.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

To this day can still see a big White beach towel being patted onto the pitch before the restart, in 30 seconds the whole thing was scarlet there was so much soaked up off the pitch

I was South side of the tunnel, as usual.
Nasty nasty stuff.

What's PD up to now, I seem to remember he was coaching at Chelsea.
