Goalkeeper Signed - Will Huffer

Charlie Atkinson, Norman Corner...

 

Ha ha, yeah it was. I remember one lad starting a false rumour Norwich wanted Donovon Ricketts and it made one of the gossip columns in the press the next day!!!

Must have been a nightmare policing it - no wonder it went.

You think that was bad you should read the Cows Arse. It seems to exist to diss this board (or Bronco Talk as they call it) and you can hear the brain cells clacking around like a solitary tennis ball in an aircraft hanger.

 

Cows Arse? Never heard of it.

 

He’s played for england under 16 and under 17, hence my statement

 

That's interesting, good piece of information.

That sounds like it can do more than just hamper his career as a keeper - good luck to the lad, it's always sad when someone is unable to fulfil their potential.

 

Quite right. All he is going to play is the remainder of the match that Hornby gets injured in. City will then sign an emergency replacement goalkeeper for the next match and he will be back on the bench.

 

Seems like a nice guy. A better interviewee than the usual cliche-ridden drivellers.

 

Emergency goalie loans only apply if ALL goalkeepers are injured, as certified by a third party.

So if Hornby gets injured, or hits poor form, we only have Huffer to hold the fort.

57 Emergency Goalkeeper Loan

57.1 If all the Professional Goalkeepers at a Club are unavailable as a result of having been:

57.1.1 certified by an independent medical practitioner as being unfit to play;

57.1.2 suspended; or

57.1.3 called up to play for his national association representative matches in accordance with the requirements of FIFA as laid down from time to time,

a Club may register (either before or after the deadlines laid down in Regulations 43.2 and 43.3), a further goalkeeper on a short term basis in accordance with the following provisions.

57.2 The Club must supply to The League written evidence to demonstrate the circumstances set out in Regulation 57.1 apply, together with the appropriate form(s) for his registration and The League having confirmed that the circumstances conform to the provisions of this Regulation:

 

We'd also require 2 goalkeepers as clubs need one to put amongst the subs so presumably could still sign one on an emergency loan but still play him as first choice.

 

Yeah, obviously interviewability is about the least important thing about being a Bradford City footballer, let's be honest, but that's a particularly pleasant chat with the lad.

Good luck to him.

 

Chris Brandon, Simon Ainge, Chib Chilaka, Wayne Benn?

 

Chib Chilaka, ha ha, forgot about him!

 

Tony Leighton, Rodney Green, Charlie Atkinson,, Neil Redfearn.

 

Rodney Green would have done great for us now -scored 30 goals in the season before he deserted to Gillingham
