No Quarter 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Saturday was brilliant. It felt like we had our own little "gang" back together again. Jamie up front, playing well, and scoring, and Gunny as manager. As much as I''ve slated him since retiring from playing, all that went out of the window when I saw him on the sidelines doing a "proper" job. It''s easy to forget over time, but for the second 45 on Saturday, he was back as Bryan Gunn, the greatest goalkeeper we have ever had. The saviour in Europe. The big reason we got into Europe in the first place. The rookie when he first signed from Aberdeen and got bollocked from Steve Bruce on a regular basis. The hero, who faced the death of his daughter with such incredible courage and fight. The goalkeeper who even Eric Cantona had to applaud following a near miraculous save against Man U. Being able to sing "Ees got no hair but we doooont care", and "Bryan, scratch your aaaarse" was great. Took me back a fooo yeahs. If a new manager takes over tomorrow, I will hold Saturday in my memory as a game where Norwich City Football Club were just that. Norwich City Football Club. On the ball City.........

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted January 18, 2009 I agree, there was a little bit of magic back at our club yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No Quarter 0 Posted January 18, 2009 When I say "ever" had, Roger Hansbury was the first keeper I saw for City. I''ve heard great things about Ken Nethercott from my dad, but in my lifetime, Gunny was the best, closely followed by Chrissy Woods. Come on, let me bit a bit nostalgic for crying out loud..........

Crafty Canary 545 Posted January 18, 2009 How could you overlook the legendary Peter Vasper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boltoncanary 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Never had to run replays in slow motion when we were on Match of the Week and Vasper was playing. He used to dive in slo mo!Nobody comes close to "the Cat" (the one that wasn''t Peter Bonnetti) as the all time legendary City Number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
