Rethinking the future 0 Posted May 13, 2009 The last goalkeeper we appointed manager was Mike Walker. Before he became manager, he was working with the reserve team and had a good knowledge of the youth/reserve squad. As manager, he only took us to 3rd in the prem and got us into Europe so you decide if this goalkeeper was a successful manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
