SectionDJambo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 You can sense the lack of panic in our defence knowing he is there, instead of the likes of what weโve had over the last few seasons. There was a time, even during the dark days of the 70s and early 80s, that we had excellent goalkeepers, with a couple or so exceptions.ย Just think. ย Cruickshank, Smith, Niemi, Gordon, Kello, to name just 5. Wilson, Dunlop, Nelson, Pereira, Kurskisย to name another 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
