    Like Kevin Hunt, another great from the league.

    He was a good player and a very nice guy to chat to. Best of luck to him.

    Yeah his back just isn't right. He'll still be registered until the end of the season in case we find ourselves with no keeper again but he can't train or play regularly.

    Really sorry to here this. He was successful from an early age, he picked up a few U21 caps at UEFA qualifiers. Turkey away in 1993 for one.

    Thanks for everything Shay, a great player for us. It is a shame he has had to call it a day with his back. I wonder if it goes back to a game a few seasons ago where he landed very badly and was brought off in an ambulance.

    Good keeper. I remember him when he was at Cardiff City and I thought very highly of him.

    They were both really good keepers. Shay had some strengths Digger didn't, his kicking was better and he was better aerially as you'd expect given the height difference. Digger was a superb shot stopper. Interesting that Stephen Gough is back, he should do alright in the First Division.
