Never been a fan of freakishly tall goalkeepers. As you say they tend to be slow to get to ground and to then get back up again. Always appear inflexible and stiff. A keeper around 6 feet is all you need.

By "freakishly tall" I was more thinking of giraffes like the Port Vale kid i.e. 6 feet 9.

Well from his comments, it looks like Harrogate were always his preferred choice. Clearly no EFL experience to date. Not that many NL appearances either.. Ranks more with James Jones than Marty Platt.

Not very likely to have said in his first interview when signing that he wanted a proper EFL club rather than some Yorkshire hobby club but they offered him a fortune is he?

Hmmm I’m detecting a definite vibe that Ferguson was firmly on our radar and one that might have got away. Let’s hope that our list of possibles is a bit longer then.

Actually I didn’t even know it was commented on in that oily rag. Barrowlad. Like the way you refuse to grace its name with a capital “s” by the way.
