new goal keeper

[MTFCMusings]

Apparently Bishop is in Sandy’s bar right now

Please tell me that he wasn't having a drink with Jake Speight, Sandy......

No I understand he was with his agent (identity unknown) talking to David Sharpe. The players were apparently in for a photo shoot in the new shirts. It could indicate he’s going to be the new number 1 unless the other keepers either aren’t confirmed or were unavailable.

I suppose they wouldn’t use Stech if they want him to move on.

He’s definitely going to be number one. United aren’t loaning out a keeper to sit on the bench, especially with heavy rumoured interest from other clubs.

Yep loved Rod
Classic keeper esp in Spurs 3 3 draw yonks ago scrambling around a muddy Field Mill pitch

Apparently, Rod retired at the age of 32. Was it injury-related? I don't remember.

I believe it was a pelvic injury.
Greaves released him, I can remember not being very happy at the time but I forgave Mr Greaves in the end
Greatest keeper I've seen at the Stags. I am sure I read a few years ago that although he didn't play for Wolves, he was on the bench for the Uefa Cup final but I may be wrong on that.
We definitely need rd sonething ing named after him at the club.

it’s certainly a different approach to signings this season

I remember 3 local goalkeepers Polly searson , Dennis Wright , and Arthur bramley great players in there day,then my fav.rod , Hitchcock ,hollins hope bishop is half as good as them and we will be on our way , goodlook to him from us all at Field Mill,I have been watching Stags since 1946/47 and this is my first season ticket, so get behind Nigel and the Radford’s give us the second div.we once held.

Pleased about the signing.

Not sure it's helpful that he isn't with us for pre season.
