Warro

BFR I think as much depends on what we do next    If we want to keep him we must come up with a new contract  Its a sure thing others will   we cant be caught sitting on our hands.

Hotspur, the keeper that played for Slough and Arsenal was Ian Gunner Gould. Don't know if there was another. Now obviously more well known as an international cricket umpire and for his involvement with Burnham.

 

Adrian, mixture of the two I would say. Warro has his head screwed on and knows any football career is short and will have to make a decision over his two careers.

In my time at Wexham Park and since we've left, I thought Paul Wilkerson was the best keeper we had,because of his all-round game but Trevor Bunting run him close and was a superb shotstopper and a great servant and nice guy to boot.

 

Think Steve Mautone, Gary Lester and Danny Honey were all good custodians,too.

 

'Jacko' had one season when he was truly superb .Shame his injuries put paid to not having a longer run in the side and was very unlucky to not play more,when Steve Bateman first arrived as manager. 

 

Saw quite a few Slough games at the Dolphin ground but was too young to know who was who.

[Cookham Rebel]

When we first signed Ben Miles he was different class but then lost the plot when rejoined!

 

Think the best keeper I've seen for us is someone we signed on loan from Airdrie, it was our 2nd season in the Conference, think his surname was Burns!

 

Also, Shaun Allaway deserves as shout!

Cookham    We had a Phillip Burns in 91   Only played about 10/12 games  and Slough only won 1 of them    If he was good then those in front of him must have been poor?

That was him!

 

Unfortunately think he was with us around the time we were struggling under Alan Davies and the back 4 weren't up too much, Darren Anderson was the only one of that back 4 at the time whom I rated, he had to plug a lot of gaps!

No the one I was referring too was Paul Baron-i believe he also played for Crystal Palace, then became Arsenal's goalie coach.

[Martin]

You are right, he left Slough for Plymouth before joining Arsenal. He was back up for Pat Jennings and only played 8 times before joining Palace. He joined them as part of swap deal which saw (future Slough full back) Kenny Sansom join the Gunners. He is now the keeper coach at Forest

 

Quite remarkable that we had two keepers of about the same generation join the Arsenal. Not quite sure what that tells you.

Hi, cannot remember or find any reference to Ian Gould playing regular keeper for Slough-my recollections was that he was a bit  on the small side-when Slough played Chelsea after they had just won the European cup winners cup to thank us for Mickey Droy-Gould was standing in front of me in the queue and I thought then he's a bit short for a goalie and wondered what all the fuss was about him-he done better as a wicket keeper.

[Windsor Rebel]

I dont remember Ian Gould playing for Slough either, maybe someone else on here knows ?

[Martin]

He doesn't actually show up on the excellent database so presumably never played first team. I imagine it was youth or reserve level. 

 

My dad remembers him and I think played at youth level with/against him. I'll see what he can remember. 

[Mark44]

I am too young to have seen any of these but just goes to show you what quality there is at grassroots if you look for it.

 

Something some big teams do not seem to do anymore is look down here.

 

Thinking back to the dreaded Steve Browne era , didn't we have Matt Murray for like two weeks before Browne said he wasn't good enough. He then shows up at wolves in the premiership

[Cookham Rebel]

Matt Murray was poor for us!

[Mark44]

Yeah I know but it's strange how he managed to make it so high so quickly

[Bernie Gogan]

I think you'll find Matt Murray played for us when we were in the Conference on loan from Wolves and not when Steve Browne was manager.

[Martin]

Definitely not conference, it was the Year 2000
