Tuna Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 Guess how many Keepers have played for us since we were relegated from the Premiership in 2004, and now. Go on. Its 19. 19 different goalkeepers, featuring in League and Cup. 19. Can you name them all? (Without cheating!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 18 April 2014 Author Share Posted 18 April 2014 They've all been named now - Pentney, Hirschfeld and Stuart Taylor were the last ones to come up. I'm surprised we got them so quickly. I was sure nobody would remember Hirschfeld. Pentney came on as sub in League 1, Hirschfeld played the last game of the 2004-05 season (Plymouth IIRC), Taylor of course on loan from The Arsenal. Jimmy Nielsen was on the books but never played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narborough_fox Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 Danny Coyne? Left after we were relegated from the Premiership according to Wikipedia. Only ever made 4 appearances as well, thought it was more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 18 April 2014 Author Share Posted 18 April 2014 Danny Coyne? Nearly, but he left in the summer of 04 for Burnley. Still on the Books at Shrewsbury as player/gk coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 Left after we were relegated from the Premiership according to Wikipedia. Only ever made 4 appearances as well, thought it was more than that. Yeah and me, thought he had quite a long stint? I've got it in my head he was quite good Doubt i'd have that much of an opinion of him if he only made 4 appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain King Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 Just looked on wiki to see where Pentney is now. Looks like he is trying to give Trevor Benjamin a run for his money the amount of clubs he has been at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceredigion Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 Nineteen goalkeepers in 10 years is an absolutely horrible statistic. How many City fans realise that between 1975 and 1982 Mark Wallington kept goal in every single game in all competitions? 6 and half years as an ever-present. Astonishing. If you were to ask a City fan who started following the club in 1974 who their favourite goal-keeper was, chances are they'd say Mark Wallington, who was a brilliant goalie as it happens. Ask the same question of a City fan who started following the club in 2004 and they'll have 19 candidates to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 It's not really 19 is it, there about 4 realistic candidates to pick a favourite from. Since I've followed us my favourite keeper has been Kasper followed by Conrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceredigion Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 As we've signed no keepers since 2011 its really 19 in 7 years! That makes it even worse. I went to a League Cup match in around 1985 between us and Derby. Mark Wallington having left the club by then was playing for Derby. Even though he'd signed for our local rivals, as he ran out towards the Kop for the start of the game, the entire crowd rose to their feet and gave him a tremendous ovation in recognition of his service for the club. Who among the 19 goalies mentioned above could inspire a welcome like that today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through short loans or injuries, e.t.c, Didn't we use something stupid like about 7 keepers in our League One season? Just had a search, in our League One season we used 6 goalkeepers; David Martin David Stockdale Paul Henderson Tony Warner Mark Bunn Carl Pentney http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/leicester-city/torhueter/verein_1003.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wallington was my first keeper i saw for City in 1979, temporarily replaced by Mark Grew due to a breakdown in contract talks, then gained his place back. Ian Andrews came along and for a while looked a world class keeper, although a loss of confidence put paid to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
