Be pretty expensive, given the size of the bloke!

Anyway, legend's used too easily in sport, but he's certainly one.

Didn’t we sign him from Shrewsbury

Liverpool, wasn’t it?

Just checked... you’re right!

Thank God for that great servant to the club wish him well but we needed fresh ideas in the goalkeeping area the young keepers aren't improving under his coaching

Do you think there is a competition at the Cov Telegraph to see who can produce the most inept and embarrassing journalism in history?
Here is a guy who had a long and illustrious career in our top flight era. Even allowing for a bit of rose tinted-ness, he was a tremendous player and servant to our club.
There must be hundreds of photos of him pulling off superb saves. And yet...
The 23 'great' photos in their visual tribute contains images of him conceding goals and even a photo of...our FA Cup defeat at Sutton.

Remember him keeping out a cantona overhead kick at old trafford which was funny as it annoyed glory fans at school come monday.

Best wishes for your retirement.

Yes I remember that, 0-0 draw last game of the season.

fernandopartridge · Apr 25, 2019

Best save I ever saw from Oggy was a home game to Spurs around 1996. It was a double save from I think Stephen Iverson, unbelievable agility for a man of 39 at the time.

Disgruntled Sky Blue · Apr 25, 2019

Well that's another junk of my late teens disappearing out of football. Hope there is an ambassadors role of some sort waiting for him.
Still remember that unbelievable save he pulled off from Ian Wright at Highbury if my memory serves me correctly. It was going top bins and somehow he got to it to give us a 0:0 result. I think Wrighty thanked him by breaking his nose at some point during the game - not that anyone noticed to look at him! :emoji_nerd:
All the best Oggy, you've been a noble servant to the club.

Oh wow, I don't remember seeing that before. If that had gone in they'd be showing that to this day, but Oggy ruined it for them. Perfect

His appearance record will never be beaten. (Maybe we will never win the cup again).
Oggy lifting the cup would be an awesome piece of work.

Evo1883 · Apr 25, 2019

A statue for oggy would be more than acceptable , man spent 35 years here , rarely ever happens

Ricketts · Apr 25, 2019

Best managerial record of anyone.

Good luck in your retirement Oggy.

AStonesThrow · Apr 25, 2019

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!

CJ_covblaze · Apr 25, 2019

What a legend. If anyone deserves a statue next to Jimmy’s, it’s him.

Paul Anthony · Apr 25, 2019

That day at White Hart Lane he had the best legs in Football. Really kept us up for another year.

Wasn't there some kind of ridiculous hoax that he'd been kidnapped somewhere in the middle east once upon a time?

Jesus a bronze statue of Oggy may be one of the very few that improves someones looks.

Jimmy's chin & Oggy's nose, what a combination.

Major Tom · Apr 25, 2019

Oggie memory - In 87 we went down to wembley on the Friday and met at the Wyken Pippin. Oggie’s boy had just been born and he was at the florist opp the pub on his way to Walsgrave hospital. We called him over he obliged, had a good chat and signed our stuff...top man and a great start to the glorious weekend.
I did think his keeping went off the boil a little bit when his cricket took over for a while...just my view.

Nick · Apr 25, 2019

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

Be interesting to see who’s replacing him maybe a coach robins worked with at his other clubs ?

And to think one of them is still here now after all these years.

Gilbo · Apr 25, 2019

My favourite footballer of all time. I remember being a kid and in the school holidays playing at The Connexion, him and other players (Killer et. al.) watching us play. When players had time for fans. Top player, top man, legend.

I think Mark Robins may have said something similar in his statement, but Oggy defines the word “legend” at CCFC.

Firstly an excellent Goalkeeper over the years for CCFC, I got to see Oggy in the last few years of his playing career, but his stature and presence in the team were something to be in awe of.

Since moving into coaching he’s had his fair share of looking after decent keepers, Westwood stands out as an example.

He’s been a magnificent servant to the Club since the 80’s and while I may not applaud some of his recent coaching towards our current keepers, overall his impact on the Club will last forever.

Thank you Oggy.
