[Archived] Brad Friedel

[OhmiBRFC]

Just read a chart on here and his contract runs out next season. Do you think we'l offer him another contract or will this be his last season?

Personally i'd love him to stay for at least 2-3 seasons. Hes one of the best in the prem and very rareley has a bad day.

[Hughesy]

Probably offer him another contract to be honest - possibly a 1 year deal with the club having the option of an extra 1 year

[OhmiBRFC]

that would be great, I think when hes finished here he'll do one season back home in america then retire.

It took me ages to come round to him after he dislodged filan, but after we beat burnley 2-0 back in 2000 i loved him

[modes98]

I could have sworn he signed or was at least offered a further year at least. Still deserving of every penny he gets!

[RoverAndUnder]

It'd be nice to have him round for a while.

[sjsbrfc]

I thought he'd signed a new 4 year contract at the start of last season?

[Presty On Tour]

When all playing on top form who would you say was the better keeper between the sticks?

mimms.../...flowers.../...friedel.../...filan.../???

[Eddie]

I never saw Mimms, so I can't really comment, but of the ones I have seen I would rate it:

1. Friedel

2. Flowers

3. Filan

[G Somerset Rover]

Friedel for sure with me, he has so much presence. I did like Flowers as well though- that game against Newcastle in 94/95 will surely have to go down as the best performance ever by a Rovers keeper.

Friedel

[Presty On Tour]

i would say friedel too.

tim flowers against the barcodes in 1995 when we won 1-0 was all about bottle if i remember correctly!

[sibbald]

Although Friedel Vs Manure was something else when smith scored in the 97th minute

Can't believe you missed Fettis off!

[OhmiBRFC]

Can't believe you missed Fettis off!

The best keeper in the Premership ever

[Presty On Tour]

i remember alan fettis when he played and lost against arsenal at ewood, i think callum davidson was making his debut at left back too.

4-1 defeat and the worst goalkeeper ever!!!

we jeered when i saved a rolly and even that he fumbled!!!

[G Somerset Rover]

Or the time I think we were 1 up at Elland Road and Fettis came on at half time and we lost 4-1.

[Exiled_Rover]

Wasn't Fettis about 5'3"?

I was at that match.... we were right hammered. Very painful the

train ride back to London.. lots of gooner grief directed my way.

:ph34r:

[gumboots]

Was that the match when Anelka ran riot and it snowed?

[Lee]

yup 4-0 down after about 30 mins. Gally pulled one back in the snow in the second half

[rover_groo]

Would this be the player in question?

He is currently playing in Division 2, where he was recently signed by Bury on a 1 year deal.

Previously he was at Macclesfield and believe it or not he won quite a few rave reviews with them and also with Hull and now a legend at York City!! Certainly in the same boat as Roy Carroll where isn't a Premiership keeper, but decent acquistion to other clubs.

Back onto the topic, but personally i think that Friedel DID sign a longer extension to his contract last season.

He has at least 2 years to run on it now from what i'm lead to believe.

And don't forget how he turn down Ferguson at the beginnng 2 seasons ago before he signed Van Der Sar.

Quality stuff!

2. Flowers

3. Filan

never saw mimms??

[BuckyRover]

never saw mimms??

The only thing I remember about him was one of his vibrant multicolour jerseys.

Those were the days (and I was only about 10)

[Ozz]

Terry Gennoe, Roger Jones, Paul Bradshaw, Rovers goalkeeping pedigree is superb.

Except Vince O'Keefe.

Cue everyone saying O'Keefe won us the Full Members Cup.
