Tyrone Mears

Well, I don't wish to speak ill of the deceased, but both Ian Moores and Ray Deakin are in with a shout.

Keepers you say, Bobo? Kevin Rose, David Felgate, Simon Farnworth to throw a few more in.

HOW DARE YOU.

Salmon and Peacock were pretty poor too. But Felgate after McDonut and before Branagan was the only decent one we had. Farnworth wasnt a bad shot stopper but suffered Dracaula syndrome

I remember Andy Dibble's debut (3-0 v West Brom) and my utter elation at seeing a keeper that was prepared to catch crosses out by the penalty spot. I'm not even sure that Felgate was even the best keeper in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

True but I remember thinking how relatively good felgate was when he arrived.He was trhe best we had during that dark post McDonagh period before Branagan arrived

True, but we were definitely deep into anyone but Farnworth territory at that point.

Wales' No.1! Best thing out of Ffestiniog since the slate railway!

Yes ,not good.My last memory of Farnworth is him flapping about at wembley for some reason possibly because felgate wasnt allowed to play.Totally out of confidence.The sherpa van debacle v Bristol city.could be wrong of course.havent looked up the gory details

That rings true, IMLC.

Farnworth played without gloves; thing is he often also seemed to play without hands or eyes.

Still at least he found a career after football

Is a physio now (somewhere non-league, at the time anyway, maybe Fleetwood?). Did my refresher first aid last year.

Seeing the way that Dibble kept goal in that game was a bloody revelation after some of the shite that had gone before him..

3 games in a Bolton shirt and someone thinks Mears is the worst player we've ever had?

He's shown some good promise going forward and his linking up with Lee will get better. If we just had a coach who could show him how to defend and pass a bit, he'd be reet.

Some folk dont know how lucky they were in missing;

Whitworth, Lydiate, Deakin, Keely, Berry & various duck eggs over the years
