Graeme Smith Scottish Calamity

[northstandsteve]

Former Albion keeper turns up at away game, only to find his team Brechin are at home, 83 miles away. Blinking useless still.!!!

Just heard this on SSN, you couldn't make it up could you

One of his better games then.

Watching soccer Saturday, certainly made all the panel laugh!

Someone posted the clip of them talking about on Soccer Saturday on Facebook - I did wonder if it was THAT Graeme Smith!

You seriously think Gordon Smith wasn't a better player than Graeme Smith, probably the worst GK the Albion have ever had? Geez, Gordon Smith would probably even have been better then Graeme playing in goal!

That must be a good result for his team

 

[GT49er]

Yet strangely, according to the BBC text commentary, he WAS playing for Brechin (unless their reserve keeper is also called Smith?). However, it also says he only let in two, so it must be wrong!

But he did score a cup final goal . . . . shame he didn't score a second.

I did once go to see Chester City at home, only to find they were then ground sharing at Macclesfield .

"BRECHIN keeper Graeme Smith had an absolute mare today – and that was before the game had even started.
The former Rangers shot-stopper must have thought he was nice and early when he turned up at the ground for the clash with Stenhousemuir.
Only trouble was, he was at the WRONG stadium.
Smith had gone to Ochilview when the match is at home at Glebe Park.
Smith had a journey of nearly 1 hour and 40 minutes – and made it to the RIGHT ground with 25 minutes to spare."

You couldn't make it up!

For those of you old enough to remember Gordon smith, he was a superb player and with robinson became a great front pairing. He is tarred by this crap about missing a goal in the last minute, and some complete dick I was talking to at a game recently didn't even know he scored the first goal in the cup final for us.

Gordon was a classy player, like a Scots Trevor Brooking (although those slagging him off probably don't know Brooking either). Once scored a Div 1 hat-trick away, just like Peter Ward did.

The other Smith was simply awful. I was at Norwich when we lost 4-1 up there in midweek. It was like having a petrified schoolkid in goal. Still makes me shudder.

Too right. A very elegant player and his Cup Final goal will always be one of my greatest Albion memories.

Yes, Highfield Road in a 3-3 draw.

Bit of a result for him then, he was actually closer to the ball when it flies into his net than he can usually manage.
