[Albion] Watford away - new keeper?

[gripper stebson]

I have a memory of going to Vicarage Road in the 80's or 90's and a bloke (possibly a yank) playing in goal for us for the first time. He had a mullet and wore a leopard skin shirt.

Did I dream this?

Tony Meola?

David Yeldell, I think, from memory

Weird dream

 

[gripper stebson]

MEOLA - that's him!

 

[pasty]

Meola was here in 1990 and made only 2 appearances.

Yeldell was 2005 and made 3 appearances

David Yeldell, I think, from memory

He was later, mid 2000's and wore pink away to Leeds

Weird dream

I've had weirder!

He was later, mid 2000's and wore pink away to Leeds

Only in the second half if memory serves. Started in yellow, but it clashed with the officials so was made to change at HT

 

[pasty]

Oh, and spooky spooky, when Meola left us he went to Watford!

 

[gripper stebson]

It's all flooding back now!

Did he arrive on a giant flamingo smoking hashish from a 1976 Austin Allegro exhaust pipe?

If so I feel your pain.

From what I can remember Meola had a blinder at home against Wolves when we drew 1-1.
In those days you could buy games on video and this one also included some pre-season games one against Arsenal I think.

Meola only played twice, don’t think either were against Watford.

Jurgen Sommer perhaps although don’t remember him having a mullet

 

[Jesus Gul]

John Keeley? His Barnet was a bit suspect.

Remember an article in one of the broadsheets after Watford game in about ‘91 when they were raving about the Hornets’ keeper’s performance in a 1-1 draw. A teenage David James.

 

[Harold]

I seem to remember him letting a goal in straight from a corner. Start of season. Unless my memory is failing me.

That was in 2004/5 IIRC
