Sam Slocombe was sent off in the 18th minute for Notts County. They had no sub keeper so their 39 year old captain went in goal...they won 3-1!

You see, all this talk about 'keepers being every bit as important as other positions is just rubbish. Anyone can do it!

Michael Doyle - he's only 5'8" too.

Oh right! Apparently he used to play Gaelic football before playing association football and that helped with him going in goal. I have no idea what Gaelic football is like but I presume it must have some element of handling to it.

I think it's essentially a brawl on a muddy field.

It’s probably closest to Aussie Rules. As well as the brawling, there is quite a bit of skill involved, with both hands and feet. Apparently Shay McCarten is/was a very good Gaelic footballer for County Down - skillful, low centre of gravity, hard to knock off the ball.

Interesting, thanks. I'll have to look into it further.

I'm pretty sure Kevin Moran was one of the earliest high profile players that was a very good Gaelic footballer.

Current former Imp Zac, is having to settle for being a bench regular after being taken off both occasions when starting previously.

Bolger versus Bozzie in the battle of the ex-centre halfs at Northampton. Neither one winning (or losing) as yet.

Cracking signing for Albion. Can Jimmy Floyd save them?

Yeah it’s quite a well trodden path. Packie Bonner played for Donegal, and more recently Séamus Coleman, Kenny Cunningham and Kevin Doyle all played for their counties.
Moran won two All-Ireland’s with the Dubs, which I’m pretty sure makes him the most successful Gaelic footballer/soccer player.

Yes, and then he let out an almighty roar that could be heard in Lincoln.

The second goal was a great run of three quarters the length of the pitch.

The best bit is him shaving his beard and growing a full head of hair between goals.
