[Albion] The Outfield Player in Goal

[Stat Brother]

I'm currently listening to The Football Ramble's Christmas Special, as the thread title suggests this episode is centred on outfield players in goal.

The amazing memory man that I am means I'm now stuck thinking I've seen that a few times at Albion games but I'll be jiggered if I can remember any of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to say Steve Gatting went in goal when Perry Digweed got his nasty ‘groin injury’

Dunk last season

 

[Bozza]

Didn't Rod Thomas go in goal once?

 

[Superseagull]

Kevin Bremner I seem to recall?

Pulled off a wonder save against Plymouth

Was then sent off as he wasnt in goal....

I'm of an age where I'm going to need to be reminded of Dunk and not Gatting.

Probably me as well... as now I’m thinking maybe it was the season before last !!

Either way he went in goal for injury time when we’d used all our subs and keeper was injured ... maybe Ryan ? Maybe was Stockdale ... my memory isn’t much better.

Stockdale............I think

I can remember Dunk being all but mummified in that special tape.

At this glacial rate I'll have all the details remembered in about 5 years.

Gary Hart?

 

[wealdgull]

Dunk went in a couple of years ago in the game against Forest. I think someone on our own side ran in to Stockdale and caused him to go off after we'd used all our subs.

 

[Napier]

I thought this thread was going to be about the likelihood of The Complete and Utter Shyster sending Ryan off this afternoon for something like a second time wasting offence and who might take his place (given all subs used)...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Gary Hart?

That was in a friendly with Kuipers in midfield.

I'm think Tommy Fraser went in goal during one game, because Wilkins never had a keeper on the bench.

 

[Bodian]

Kevin Bremner I seem to recall?

I vaguely recollect that he saved a penalty, or it was for a penalty shootout or something?

 

[Glanders]

Dunk did that thing where he picked up a water bottle, took a swig and then pretended to slip and drop it in front of the Forest fans.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

remember Grummitt getting injured at Tranmere

when the only sub you had was "to be announced"

can't think who went in goal though?

May be imagining it but didn't El-Abd go in goal once since we've been at the Amex?

 

[Wozza]

I remember when Carl Shutt when in goal against us, for Darlo, at Gillingham. For 60+ mins, IIRC.

0-0.

PS If you weren't there, you're not a superman etc etc.

Oh I'm glad someone else has said that.
If you did imagine it, we shared the same fevered cheese induced dream.
