A great servant to the club, I will never forget his heroics at Hillsborough for the FA Cup Semi-Final vs Leeds, which earned him a 10/10 rating by the telegraph/pink.
All the best Oggy.
All the best Oggy.
He's played 39 games for Birmingham and I think he gets a payout if he plays a 40th. Which is why he's in the bomb squad... worth noting he's 34 in September so will probably be happy to see out his contract and Brum for another year unless they pay him off or someone offers him the same.
Had crossed my mind as well, meant to be really good.
Didn’t get near any of our goals at Wembley though :cigar:
spending the summer chasing unrealistic targets is what got us relegated from league one.
If the playoffs are done by Sunday then I'd play Oggy against Shrewsbury.
i made a woodwork picture frame of him in woodwork class when i was 12
legend!
legend!
Happy retirement to the big fella.
And hball that he bowled Viv RIchards with when playing for SHropshire was never a no ball !

I think Robins is smarter than Mowbray and will have already spoken to Blues and Stockdale as well as other targets. I like that we get our business done early and this summer getting our first choice keeper in before pre season is key.
Only City player to dismiss Viv Richards, greatest ever batsman to come out of the West Indies.
True legend for our club.

Better than Garfield Sobers or Brian Lara !! All entitled to our own opinions I suppose.
Given as a no ball - Oggy has always claimed it was never any where near!
Absolute legend of our club, save pair of hands and helped cultivate some good decent young keepers out of the youth system. Sad loss to the club but a well deserved retirement. Thanks for the memories Oggy!
He was my favourite player growing up. Absolute legend for the club.
I remember one game (vaguely) at Highfield Road where we had Magnus Hedman as our number 1 but he got injured in the warm up. Oggy then had to play and it made me very happy when my dad told me.
Can't remember the score or game sadly. Didn't he score once too?

An absolute Legend and a thoroughly nice bloke too.
Like a couple on here, I saw his home debut for the club, saw him in all the 1987 cup games, saw his heroics at White Hart Lane in 97 and was there for his last game for us in 2000. I did miss his goal against Wednesday though!
All the very best in retirement Oggy.

Reminds me - the first time I actually saw him play was against us for Liverpool in 80-81 in a 0-0 draw at Highfield Road - Ray Clemence was injured.
Have a happy and healthy retirement Oggy. You deserve it.
Great memories from the "good old days"
Deserves a final testimonial or similar. Although he has made a good living, he missed out on the "big money" that today`s players make.

I saw his debut too at Villa, Nice for him to finish with game with his previous club, Shrewsbury.
good luck Oggie, fine keeper.
Robins should play him on Sunday
Would do a better job than Burge did last week.

You've stirred my memory. I took my lad to meet the players & get a photo with the FA Cup a week or two after the win.
When we met Oggy I prompted my son to tell him he was a gk too. Oggy leaned down and asked what gloves he used - "Goalie gloves" said my lad. The big man grinned a very wide grin and, Greg Downes I think, said to Oggy "You asked for that".
Smiles all round - thanks for triggering that memory.
