GK Howler #2: Artur Boruc

[fatshaft]

AND, why does he get called The Holy Goalie? Someone must know!

No idea, Bruce, although the name is not particularly original - forty years ago that was the nickname of Joe Daley, one of the last to play without a mask. The Bishop of Chicago who plays goal in an over 30s league has the same nickname for obvious reasons.

August 2006 Old Firm game, and he gives the Hun crowd a blessing, for which he both earned the nickname, and got himself in hot water with the courts.

However with my record of accuracy in this thread, I'll let one of the forum Huns (Willie the White?) confirm or deny that as correct.

Eh???

Sorry, thought you had sworn allegiance to the forces of darkness, must be another Willie or White, certainly similar in name to yourself?

Admit it, you just wanted an excuse to mention Rangers and the name 'William' in the same sentence!

I apologise wholeheartedly for the confusion. I need to take more pills I guess, more inaccuracies from me in this thread than in a Scousers testimony.

Trust me, it'll never leave you. It was the Mixu and Andy Walker connection that sealed it for me, first time around

You're half-remembering a chap calling himself "White Army", I believe, 'shafty.
