Wouldn't make mine not as good as Hedman or Kirkland and I am not sure he was even better than Westwood, my dad always says He was nowhere near as good as Glazier and Blyth(both before my time), his distribution was appalling (same as the goalies he currently coaches) and dreadful with crosses (same again)

If he made the all time team on here then it seems that most would disagree with you. I would put Glazier second and Blyth third in my list, both good goalkeepers who I enjoyed watching. I liked Westwood too who I think is the best keeper we have had since top flight days. I didn't rate Hedman at all, too keen to keep his good looks. Didn't put his head in where it hurts like the other keepers here but particularly Oggie.

Bill Glazier was an excellent goalkeeper in a different era, so difficult to compare. Steve Ogrizovic played 507 games over 16 years for City and deserves respect for those statistics alone. None of our other goalkeepers match that level of consistency and longevity. Those who saw Oggy's performance at White Hart Lane when he kept us in the Premier League almost on his own, will never forget his contribution. I just feel that on these forums, we are very quick to criticise and disrespect our players.

Being old I've seen both so believe me Glazier was twice the keeper Oggy on a good day was

My guess on who our next manager will be is ether Gary Caldwell or Nigel Adkins

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Lets be honest-it doesn't matter who it is they won't be able to make a difference. What nutter would want to take the post anyway?

I'm making myself redundant (don't ask) at 31/3. Watched City for decades (too embarrassed to say how many) and will happily do it for nothing. Love the club, will play centre forwards down the middle, wingers out wide and promise to buy a giant brute to replace JT at the back. Repeat -will do it for nothing (except travel expenses) if you're reading Tim, and I've already started to lose my hair, so not bothered about the damage to my looks or sanity (as I said, I've followed us for decades). I'll appoint Hill83 to conduct all media interviews, with Otis as half time entertainment,

Yes, I watched Bill Glazier in every home game between 1964 and 1970, and he was a great goalkeeper during a great time for the club ( I moved from Coventry in 1970 to a town near to where I think you now live, RSB). Who was the best? Not sure, but these are the two goalkeepers that I have enjoyed watching the most over the years.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Back to the manager problem is for myself I cannot get over enthusiastic over any one given the current plight. It's almost like a set up to fail for anyone coming here so maybe we will end up with a radical like di canio who has nothing to lose If no investment and it fails

Respect to Oggy by the way a great man for so many reasons who I would rather have around the club than not

I respect his appearances for us now he should respect us and stand down... he has the smell of relegation and we need winners here now

 

[coop]

Do you think Gary Rowett turned us down as well he said he had a couple of phone calls after being sacked but nothing he fancied.Could Fish Face of phoned him and spouted out his normal bullshit.

I was there and agree.

I can see, would rather not, Hartson's point, why would anybody take the job?

 

[Otis]

Totally agree.

Oggy was a great shot stopper, but quite poor on crosses.

 

[steve82]

Hoping for Russel Slade still, can see Sam Ricketts being given it tho till the summer

 

[no_loyalty]

Less than a week for a new manger to work with the players, so think Timmy has led us up the garden path again?

 

[matesx]

and me

 

[Astute]

You seem thrilled.

You really hate CCFC don't you?

Whilst you pretend all is well with SISU and blame everyone else.

You can't blame a worker for ownership and management mistakes.

 

[steve82]

Can hear it now....
sams been with the club 18 months now and understands the club... is fresh and hungry to step in to drive the club forward... will look to use his international experience and professionalism to kickstart the stuttering season....
we thank the fans for there patience while the club sauced the right applicants and got our man!!.... blah blah...

Sam will be assisted by the knowledgeable Marcus Tudgay who will rejuvenate our shy front line.
Happy new year and look forward to seeing you all in 2017 as we strive for success.

forever yours Timmy.

Bang on the money me thinks

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Loyal club servant the man has been paid not done it from the goodness of his heart. I am told is is a good coach but looking at the two keepers we have it doesn't look like it.

He was a goalkeeper who played a lot of games not a great goalkeeper.

He has made the difference for us on many occasions. Including getting smashed up in the process.
Respect to the man!

...onwards & upwards PUSB

Seconded.

He played for England...so he must've been rated by the majority. You're perhaps out of step with that majority, but you're entitled to your opinion too.

He also has the smell of success in an FACUP winners medal

So did Michael Ricketts

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Wtf has it got to do with him? Oggy played long term for us through thick & thin.

[Sky Blue Pete]

Totally agree.

Oggy was a great shot stopper, but quite poor on crosses.

He wasn't David James though and kept us up single handedly on many occasions

People play for England and some don't Trevor Peake and Steve Bruce didn't it's sometimes about the moment unless you play a few games.

Greatness is a thrown around term he was a good goalkeeper.

Made my statement time to move on People like fisher want us to get lost in pointless arguments while he continues on not naming a manager

He was a dam sight better than the two we have got now

Not difficult

 

[Sick Boy]

We were also told before that no one wanted the job and that we'd end up with up Hockaday. Wouldn't be surprised to see us unveil Slade in the new year.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

So did Michael Ricketts

So did Geoff Thomas and Carlton Palmer

 

[rupert_bear]

If it was Sam Ricketts to be manager i'd give him a fair chance to be honest. We are where we are and we are in state we are, Ricketts is no difference to Eddie Howe, Gary Monk, Sean Dyche, Paul Tilsdale a few have said they'd like him or dare I say even our own Jimmy Hill all were greenhorns when they started. Ricketts has to start somewhere and a bottom of the league third division club is about right for him. He might become the next Sir Alex or the next Andy Thorne who knows. I can't see us getting the "experienced" manager everyone says we need, Fisher quiet simply won't pay for one.

The reason people don't is generally because others are better at doing the same job. Oggy was chosen on merit because of his ability at the time, possibly not 1st choice, but circumstance meant he got picked...actually not for England if I remember right - was it the FL team v somebody or other?

[rupert_bear]

On the Steve Ogrizivic issue anyone who knocks any part of his goalkeeping between the sticks quiet simply must be blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

If it was not for Oggy we would have been relegated out of the Prem years before we were, he was worth a good 10 points a season minimum.
