Simon Garner is a club legend and neither Rhodes or Armstrong are anywhere near.

garner a better all round footballer than both of them,though in mowbrays side he`d have ended up on the wing on the rare occasion he got picked,he`d have clashed with mowbray over his off the field habits no doubt,i don`t think there is much tolerance for individuality in tony`s dressing room

got to smile when i imagine mowbray trying to manage some of our maverick players,he`d have to go the therapy dealing with  the likes of todd,speedie,bellamy,keeley etc

Been wrecking my brain all night to remember who the opposition was. I distinctly remember my young self watching him in goal once, don't think i dreamt it but you never know.

I'll take a punt and say it was Ipswich at home when either Gennoe or O'keefe got stretchered off. Garner took over and we won 1-0 i think Hendry scored just after the keeper incident.

I recall the BBE roaring every time Garner touched it, a wall of noise helping him keep the ball out. He was probably the smallest on the team as well !

Imagine a time with no reserve keepers, what were they thinking back then 😂

[bazza]

I think he was definitely a better keeper than Richie Smallwood.

Almost certain it was Ipswich. What I am certain of is that Vince O’Keefe ended up in the next bed to me in hospital that night with a broken leg.

I was at that game. It was Jason Dozzell that did him, at the DE as I remember. 

Was it the FMC?

Horrible wet night from memory. Think it was fmc

[bazza]

If it was FMC in 1987 then it was the semi-final and Colin Hendry's first game for us.

Not sure it was. O'Keefe actually played a blinder in the FMC final,as Gennoe was out.

I am pretty sure Vince did break his leg against Ipswich, but not in the FMC...

Thought it was Ipswich but wasn't sure which keeper, did we loan Marriot after that then ?

You weren't the one clattering Vince for Ipswich were you ? 😅

Ha ha no but funnily enough it was Turton’s keeper that had put me in hospital with a shocking challenge. I never really recovered from it to be honest and lost a yard of pace.

Ha ha touche Tony. You're not far off there. I was lightning fast over two yards, not so much over 30 or 40 :)

Ronnie Tattersall said it was the worst challenge he'd ever seen, the lad got a straight red, and it was the first minute of the game as well.

While we are off topic, an unfortunate typo for a worthy cause. Assume it was an England U23 piece.
