Dundee Hibernian Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 1 hour ago, jagfox said: Any relation to Mark Walton, former Norwich keeper? Possibly his son? Damn, I feel old No relation as far as I know, but strangely, and probably well forgotten by many United fans, Ivan Golac brought Mark Walton in on loan from Norwich for a wee while in 1994, but he never got game time. There were quite a few goalkeepers passing through Tannadice that season, Alan Main, Guido van de Kamp, Stuart Garden, Michel Pageau, Paul Shepherd (?), Brian Flies and as mentioned Mark Walton, brought about due to Alan Main's serious injury in November '93 when he'd just been called up to the Scotland squad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who cannot remember what he did yesterday I admire your recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember anything at all about Flies, Walton or Shepherd and had no idea Pageud was at us on trial before going over the road. We had some goal keeper issues the following season too when we went down, with O'Hanlon/Jorgensen and letting Main go to the Fermers. Goalie troubles and relegation you'd think we'd have learnt something over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that Pageud played for us as a trialist in the game we beat the fun 13-0 in a reserve game at dens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Goalies that played for Thistle and United? I can only think of Billy Thompson and Paul Gallagher. Any others? We might have had a wee guy on loan around 2001/2002? Can't remember his name though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right behind it on the T C Keay terracing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's been excellent. It beggars belief that someone can have watched the guy for any period of time and not realise what a good player he is. Does the dirty stuff very well, passes the ball on constructively and generally organises the play and players around him. Can't comment on his suitability for mobile catering but I've no reason to believe that he wouldn't put a good shift in, if required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not purchasing ticket till hour before ko however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat them like a screaming kid before nap time. They'll eventually shout at the wall long enough to tire themselves out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rating Docherty (at Championship level) is fast becoming one of my litmus tests of whether soneone knows what they’re talking about or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
