Westerveld

[BG]

Apparently (Wikipedia) he's been without a club for over a year.

 

Seems odd - he must have had a really fast decline - he's only 34 which by goalkeeping standards is hardly old.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

he wasn't that bad either. Surely some club - Newcastle for example - could put him to good use?

 

Or Carra? As a punchbag

[Mike]

thought he was crap macca. and a bad s***house.

[Stefano]

Always thought he tried too hard to be the new Schmeichel, i.e. shouting at everyone. He just wasn't as talented.

[Boca]

Ideally he needs to play in a warm weather country. Somewhere they don't have ice bulid up on the ball.

[Swipe]

I remember i used to ring Team Talk and they were all excited about us signing a dutch international keeper and it must be VDS. Banged on about his career and how good he was.

 

Then the next day they said "actually, no it's some guy called Westerveld"

[Chili Palmer]

was better with his feet than his hands, which, to my untrained eye, must be a disadvantage in a goalkeeper.

[Red Kent]

Unfortunate victim of the Kirkland/Dudek fiasco.

He was garbage.

yeah. but not that bad. Not so bad he can't get a halfway average club

Looked like Sam the Eagle from the muppets

 

Westerweld

[Red Kent]

He was garbage.

 

No he wasn't, he was a vital part of our treble season.

 

Granted he messed up against Bolton, but he still went on to play well in Spain for Sociedad.

he was rubbish

 

look at every goal we conceded that season and he was flat footed in nearly all of them

 

Mghinty could have done better

[CarraLegend]

Him and Oliver Kahn were the best goalies in the world.

[Bailo]

Wasn't he a really bad ted off the pitch as well?

Used to got to Southend on a bank holday and beat up a few mods?

[Des]

Unfortunate victim of the Kirkland/Dudek fiasco.

 

You're not serious.

[CarraLegend]

Dean Holdsworth, what a c*** he was.

[Stevie H]

he really was very rubbish. inspired no confidence whatsoever yet seemed to have an arrogance about him befitting a far, far better goalie.

[Chili Palmer]

Joe Corrigan ruined him.

 

 

That and the fact that he was rubbish.

[Murphman]

He was trying (unsuccesfully) to get a spot in the MLS last year, THAT'S how sh*t he is now.

 

I never rated him anyway mind, nor that c*nt James. I never quite understood why we let Freidel go actually, what a good keeper he became.

hmmmm

 

he was rubbish.

[Stefano]

Watching highlights of James makes me cringe. He was a such a big galoot.

Carra was really good mates with him. and his missus

He didn't have a work permit so had to go back to the US. He improved massively from when he was with us though.
