was never a fan
(we've had some great keepers in the past , from john Jackson, in my personal memory)
but good luck to him.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

And no one coming through either ?

Think Danny Ward is 2nd choice and he sits on Leicester’s bench each week.

Has inspired me to look for any Welsh heritage! I must be worth at least 20 caps on that fact.

Hennessey was after all a GK with whom we stayed in the PL for many seasons, that should not be forgotten.

I find him very hard to dislike, barring his allegiance to the National Socialist German Workers' Party, but he did become somewhat of a figure of fun for me which floated between amusement, anger and despair frequently!

I'll still maintain to this day I have never seen anybody look less capable of utilising their own physical being on a pitch then him. Being 6'6 or whatever he is did prove misleading. I remember him once running to save a corner by kicking out for a throw in instead, I was sitting in the Glaziers lounge. The ball was travelling out, in a straight line about half way between the six yard box and the edge of the penalty area... he had plenty of time to get there... but only managed to slide just to make contact with it. A corner was given as he didn't make it in time. Was a truly baffling experience watching that and trying to absorb the reality of that struggle for him to move about 7 yards especially with the clear exertion of effort written on his boat.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I'm very happy to contribute to this thread and offer WH many congratulations on the fine, and rare, achievement of earning 100 caps for his country.

I never understood why so many on here were critical of him because he loyally served our club very well indeed.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Congratulations WH a great achievement,apparently only two other players have achieved that for Wales,one being Gareth Bale.

See! He was Palace all along

Remember that game, I was somewhat trolleyed in the Alleyn's Head in Dulwich for a quiz night, ironically, at the time!
