(Prompted by the current goalkeeping fiasco at Tamworth).
Identify those outfield players who have also played as a goalkeeper for Alty during a competitive first team fixture.
(I can think of four so far, off the top of my head....but there may well be others...)
-
Being a younger fan, I only remember Jake Sedgemore against Droylesden(?)
-
Nigel SHaw, Stan Allan i think are two
-
Chris Adams against Harrogate in addition to the 3 already mentioned.
Nigel Shaw must be the only one to START the game in goals though.
What a farce, and what a day to face Wycombe the runaway league leaders!
In fact Altrincham FC Trivia Question part 2.
How many of the Altrincham goal keepers from seasons 1992/93 and 1993/94 can you name?

Indeed, that must surely rank as the nadir of that abject season when Stan Allan was Alty's manager.
As for the 1992/93 season under Gerry Quinn, I'll go for:
Mike Pollitt;
Joe Paladino;
Ray Dennis (truly awful);
Wayne "Uncle Fester" Baker;
Andy Newell;
Andy Gorton.
Think that we started the 93/94 season with the excellent Tim Clarke and finished it with Paul Collings..?
(I suppose that you should always mention Ian Senior in the answers to such questions, just in case it was a season when he made one of his 37 comebacks....!).
-
Stan Allen played in goals more than once and never conceded
-
Sorry Cult, my seasons were mixed up. I did in fact mean name the dozen or so keeper's who played for us in the 1991/92 'campaign' under Stan Allan and for the last bit John Davison.
Has ever a club managed to go 28 games unbeaten in one season and lose 13 on the bounce in the next?

Lets see what happens next season... ;)

I seem to remember Mad Dog finishing a game in goal once. And did Gary Talbot play the last 5 minutes in nets on one occasion a few years back ?

Jeff Wealands (that was the season he retired, I believe);
Steve Roberts (local character - Broadheath Central?);
Steve Berryman (once of Cambridge United, I think; subsequently played for the Vics);
Mark Davies (originally at Alty in the 1985/86 season);
Nigel Shaw (as already mentioned in this thread).
-
Mark Newell.
Jeff Wealands has retired??
-
Harry Wiggins v Barrow...
-
Dave Cockram away at Telford in 1995/96.
-
Harry Wiggins v Barrow...
Good shout, that man.
Bob Lord Trophy tie against Barrow at Moss Lane in October 1991?
-
Dave Cockram away at Telford in 1995/96.
Ah yes, I recall that one now.
Paul Collings managed to get himself sent off.
Didn't we start the season with three defeats and a red card in each of those games?
-
Didn't Andy Green once deputise in goal?
-

Don't you mean gaol...?
-
Andy 'donkey ears' Green!
class act!
-
I have a feeling that Martin Baker or Martin Lewis once went in goals but my memory isnt great.
-
Kenny Harrison away at Gainsborough during a night match I think in the late 70's. We lost and I think heavily something like 4-1 or 4-0.
-
Not THE Kenny Harrison , i dont remember him playing for Alty Loads of sunday league clubs but not Alty.

Robert,
That's a magnificent piece of memory dredging!
24th February 1976
NPL
Gainsborough Trinity...5 Altrincham...0
The Robins' volatile goalkeeper, John Wood, was sent off in the 65th minute, just after the home side had scored their fourth goal.
Making his Alty debut at right full back, 18-year-old Kenny Harrison then donned the goalkeeper's jersey for the remainder of the match.
Stan Allan, the customary stand-in goalkeeper under such circumstances, was suspended for this fixture.
