I'm always with him i know he hasn't.
But i asked him anyway he was meant to have a trial at Swansea when he was 15 but didn't go.
So no he was never on trials. Happy now?

He did, I should know I arranged the bloody thing for him and he stayed with my sister and brother-in-law while he was over there, say that to him and see what he says.

Nice guy but he was shocking bad for us last year.

As they say..."Nice guys put you out of business"...

Getting two quality goalkeepers in the club at any one time seems to be a problem of late, as I'm sure it has been for other clubs. We've had some interesting goalkeepers in the past few seasons (Tommy Barrett) and some interesting centre forwards (Jimmy Fyfe). I suppose what makes a really good squad is having quality back up in the key positions, such as goalkeeper, centre half, centre midfield and striker.

Yeah, we went through 5 keepers last season ... and a few more on trail/training

John McGuinness - Sound chap, poor keeper
Aaron Shanahan - Best of the bunch in my opinion and typical we got rid of him
Alex O'Reilly - Not bad but very injury prone.
Barry Andrews - Shocking. Looked more interested in holding his fringe than the ball
Scott Gaynor - Promoted from U20's due to injuries & suspensions and played well when called apon.

Had a couple more down for training during the year but they didnt make the grade ... and considering what did you can probably guess what they were like.

Things look a lot better this season with Chris Bennion, Michael Schlingermann and Scott Gaynor.

Brian McCarthy has played centre half, centre forward and in goals for us ... although the keeper was in a youth game. Cant remember the opposition but from
dodgy memory he was filling in as the regular keeper was either sick or got injured, game went to a shootout and he saved and scored a peno
