Posh Harry, are you referring to the 'young' David Stockdale that's 31?
Lol. Yes, didn't know his age so my bad. I thought he was mid twenties at best. Young at heart I'm sure and should still have 5 or 6 years left, but has decided that a lot of that will be sat down watching rather than playing. Still sad when would be earning £40k a week to be brightons number one keeper and make a name for himself. But money talks, and to be fair, talks more when you get towards the later stages of your career.

Move on.
Well never get him back.
Henderson made mistakes while he was here, not a great number of them but he still did - evarybody seemed to turn a blind eye. Every time Mckeown - our own player who has served is well for 6 years - made a mistake, the abuse he got was awful and not needed, surely doing his confidence no good and making him more likely to make another mistake.
Really good up and coming keeper but you are right he was a "badge kisser" which a lot of fans got caught up in.

Yes, Steve Sherwood was older than that when Buckley signed him from Watford. An experienced keeper can make all the difference to a defence.

I don't think we've ever had a player who fans have brown noses so much.
To be fair some of those mistakes Macca made were ridiculous lol.

I think Colgan had to have been one of the worst, most embarrassing watching the ball trickle through him for a goal. So much hype when he joined as he was a supposed Premier keeper.

Colgan concerned me from the very beginning. He had been second choice at every club he had played for, and the number of appearances prior to joining us was very concerning for a player of his age. The number of goals he seemed to concede that somehow looped over his shoulder was incredible.

Was there though? I seem to remember it being split with "omg why!?" and "Hey let's give him a chance.." which after he did play turned into "omg why!?". Funny thing was he wasn't the worst keeper we had that season. Colgan was just a bench warmer for a lot of big teams but never played much in years by the time he joined us as our first choice keeper. Forecast is still the worst keeper I've ever seen in my life including watching Sunday league games, who the hell trained him and thought he had potential I don't know.
