Goalkeepers @ Walsall

Which League One Club can boast about having 2 international goalkeepers (and Richard Mckinney.) Lets not forget the prospect of signing Mark Bosnich (heheheh)

^{27. Richard McKinney (aged 25) The signing of a keeper deemed not good enough for the mighty Colchester United didn’t exactly excite the Bescot faithful. The Ulsterman’s mullet and lack of kicking-the-ball-in-a-straight-line ability also failed to endear him to the home fans. He looked good for one game against Villa. His handling ability makes Andy Petterson look like Lev Yashin. Picked up a serious injury early on in 04-05. Swift Half wishes him a speedy recovery.  He isn't a great goalie, probably good at other things though.}

 

^{1. Mark Paston (aged 27) We’ve signed an international keeper!..Hmm who?...Mark Paston Hmm who?  Despite a spell in England with Bradford, we still hadn’t heard of him. He is tall. He isn't a bad goalie, but he isn't a good one either. Can't think of much else to say about him, apart from the fact he is built like one of those male Ballet dancers.}

 

^{29 Joe Murphy (aged 23) We are currently borrowing West Broms 3rd best goalie. This is because our rookie gaffer signed two goalies who weren't good enough for Clubs they were with (no offence to those Clubs intended). Joe has won two full caps with the Republic of Ireland. He is highly thought of in the goalkeeping fraternity. The Albion must be pleased that he's getting plenty of practice playing behind our rickety defence.}
