Peter had a magnificent Pink crash hat, and I remember stood on the open end as a lad and either a cross or corner came over and he dived at a right angle to the line catching the ball in mid air. I was amazed at it. Ended up in Scarborough as a Policeman, sadly dying quite young. I think.

Din't Muller also save one in the last minute at home to the Preston nobbers ?.

I was glad when we dropped Phil Whitehead and brought in Lee Butler. And for a while Butts was really popular, but he lost it eventually. Same as Kevin Miller really, who became a liability.

There were times during the 01-02 relegation season, when he/Miller came out totally flapping at thin air. Maybe hed had a few too many 'fruit juices' in the taarn. ;D

Hey uncle Roma lol, wot did you do, were you a barman/landlord ?.
Was it a case of a pint of lager or ale for the bloke, and a glass of wine or a fruit based drink for the lady. ;D

Anyone remember the legend that was Paul Malcolm ?

Saying that the worst goalkeeping display I've ever seen was from Vitto Mannone who came on loan from Arsenal and played in a Sky game at Preston around 2006 , he was so out of his depth it wasn't true .

To be fair he ended up having a good PL career at Sunderland but that night at Deepdale is clearly something I've never forgotten .

I remember of the name Paul Malcolm, but I dont think I ever saw him.
Speaking of Vito Mannone, did he play for us and mess up for us in a Lg Cup defeat at home to Milton Keynes ?.
