Hadji, Konjic and Hedman shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as Oggy.

 

[Houchens Head]

He's served the club well, but now, it really is time he buggered off! If he can't do anything with the likes of Burge, then retire gracefully!

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Great memories of watching him over the years and interaction with the fans.
Remember a phase where fans were copying his warm up at Derby doing star jumps and he he just looked at us like we were mad and smiled.

Wouldn’t have made the final if it wasn’t for some fantastic saves against Leeds that day.

Celebrate what was a legend rather than worrying about whose coming in, let’s give him what he deserves and delay his retirement by winning the last two games and make the play off finals,

A true gentleman, a real Legend of the club and such loyalty, dedication and hard work to achieve what he has for the club.
Thank You Oggy

He has been a brilliant servant over the years. And has mentored & coached some good 'keepers. If Burge ain't got the right amount of talent - the best in the world can't get out what isn't there!

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?

He was the clubs highest scoring keeper until Joe Murphy got one

 

[Westendlad]

Enjoy your retirement Oggy......Top man/Top goalie.....

Joe Murphy’s was in a penalty shootout so it doesn’t count.

 

[ajsccfc]

I'd nominate Joe Murphy for angriest keeper in club history.

 

[ceetee]

Why don't we play him as Number 1 on Sunday, give him a good old send off and probably feel more secure when a corner is floated in too! Win win!

More sensibly we could put him on the bench and bring him on as a sub at 88 mins

I only saw Les Sealey play after us, but he seemed pretty angry!

 

[Winny the Bish]

I once bumped into him literally in a petrol station and didn't realise until he had got into his Jag.

The one by the Peugeot garage on a45, about 2004 or something

True story. The end. Fact

If you ever want to meet Oggy just go to The Burnt Post's pub quiz. Saw him there while back in Coventry and my Dad said he's a regular.

 

[oldskyblue58]

Top keeper, loyal servant of the club, who never got the England cap he deserved. Good luck in your retirement Oggy, enjoy life.

 

[AJB1983]

I remember in a game against Newcastle at Highfield Rd, just after Huckerby had signed for us, he kept out an Alan Shearer header that I thought was a certain goal. He got right down for it.

 

[AJB1983]

1:33 in is that save

 

[torchomatic]

I was at Hillsborough when he scored his goal.

Anyway, thanks for the memories and all that but we move on and I think he should have retired a while ago.

Hopefully Burge follows him out of the door this summer.

Just been named in the L2 team of the season!

 

[ajsccfc]

Yes Joe! Proof you can't keep a loud shouty man down.

Ok top 10 but wouldn't put Julian Gray or Konic in there though.

 

[Ricketts]

It is possible I slipped one or two in 'in error'.

Over the years there have been many. Trevor Peake?

 

[Ricketts]

Now that Huckerby stuff is what Luke Thomas should be watching. The runs are identical, the final pass or shot is what we're missing.

MR first sub, despite being 0-3 down, playing too defensive and no player putting a foot in

 

[ccfcway]

people on cwr calling for a statue of him outside the stadium owned by wasps

Thomas can stay onside at least

 

[Johhny Blue]

If it doesnt count how come we won?

 

[ccfctommy]

Another part of the history eroded away. Such as life.

Fair play Oggy. Employed by is since the early eighties. A City icon.

That will be Nick again...

Kept us up single handedly year after year after year

 

[Adge]

Is that the Brummie geezer who never bothers going the game?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Kept us up single handedly year after year after year

That isn't true

 

[Adge]

That isn't true

With a bit of help from Dublin on occasions.

 

[Hobo]

Better than Garfield Sobers or Brian Lara !! All entitled to our own opinions I suppose.

Lara has the best stats.

 

[Hobo]

I appreciated the Julian Gray inclusion straight away ha ha.

Trevor Peake definitely and two other defenders worth a mention Danny Thomas and Stuart Pearce. Tommy Hutchison would also make my list.

 

[CrawleySkyBlue]

He must have a better goal to game ratio then some of our strikers...

 

[Cov City Daytrader 87]

A special testimonial match for Oggy I say.

Maybe do a guest commentator on a few home games on Coventry and Warwickshire in the future?
