Beattie the goalkeeper..

[Chucky20]

Just saw this on the BBC gossip column. Wonder if Blackpool will get fined for fielding a weakened team again!? Wouldnt surpise me the way the FA work..

Blackpool striker James Beattie could play in goal if they are refused special dispensation to sign in a keeper as injury cover - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

It also got me thinking, have the albion had any players that had to play in goal due to unforseen circumstances?!

Liam Bridcutt versus Charlton a few weeks ago

 

[public school boy]

There have certainly been albion player pretending to be keepers.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Yes, against West Brom. Can't remember the circumstances exactly, but I think it was Nicky Bissett that had to start in goal when Digweed (?) got injured and there was no reserve at the ground. He played until the the reserve turned up. I think we lost 4-2.

I think its was Gary Chivers who went in goal when Digweed got iunjured in teh warm up. Mark Beeney was in the stands, and had to go and get changed, and then got brought on as a sub for JOhn Crumplin if my memory serves me right

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

I think you're right, I wasn't sure it was Bissett.

 

[Scotty Mac]

rod thomas against plymouth - best save i ever saw at gillingham

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Gary Hart away to Walsall...
















...at half time.

Definitely Chivers

I remember Eddie Spearitt going to goal too when we had a goalie injured (no sub goalies in those days)

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Didn't Kevin Bremner go in goal once or am I imagining that?

 

[strings]

With regards to Blackpool's situation, surely they will be allowed to get another keeper in. After all, Man City were allowed an emergency loan for a keeper last season, in spite of having four fit senior keepers on their books.

Back to the thread - I can't think of any outfield player going in goal, but I can remember Kuipers straying into midfield on more than one occasion...

On the contrary, surely?

They asked for an emergency loan, and were refused, so they had to play that kiddie from the FAROE ISLANDS.

Yes, and it was for that West Brom game.
Digweed was injured during the game when John Paskin of West Brom went in studs-up for a loose ball Perry was gathering (south stand goal), and in doing so he re-arranged Perrys genitals - he ended up with a ruptured urethra and lost a LOT of blood apparently.

Bremner put the gloves on for the rest of the game, and I think we got dicked 4-2.

I was thinking of when Fulop joined them on loan...

[Easy 10]

Oh, actually it was 0-3 that night.

To this day I have always remembered the word urethra, but don't think i have ever heard it again in relation to antyhing else.

 

[Mr Burns]

Didn't Kevin Bremner go in goal once or am I imagining that?

I thought that as well, but thought I was dreaming. Didn't Steve Gatting also don the gloves during one game?

 

[Mr Burns]

Yes, and it was for that West Brom game.

He was near to death appartently. Or maybe it just felt that way!

 

[Reinelt12]

Didnt Carl Shutt go in goal for Darlington when we were playing at Gillingham and was directly in front of us - saving everything we threw at him (which in those days, wasnt very much!)
