    Sieb...sieb...sieb...

    55th birthday today. Loved him. March '99, 5th round Scottish Cup, Ayr at Somerset. 0-0 on 89 mins, Ayr get a pen, Andy Walker to take.

    Sieb goes up to him, tells him he knows what corner it's going. But Sieb kinda knows then that Walker is going to hit it straight down the middle. Strangely, Walker kisses the ball before battering it down the middle. But big Sieb knew correct, stayed like a brick wall central. Ball canons off a solid right hand/arm, hits bar & is cleared.

    One of the best penalty saves I've ever seen. Game ends 0-0, we win replay 2-1 at Tannadice. Lose to Celtic 2-0 in the semi at Hampden. Luggy the manager.

    A penalty which was given away by Tonny Mols, with a completely ludicrous tackle by possibly the worst midfielder I've seen play in Tangerine. Shudder.................

    Possibly not, unless you're one of the lucky ones that's managed to erase all memory of Rabitsch and Barton ��

    There were lots of daft wages going about at the turn of the century. It was on the back of grossly exaggerated projected TV income at the time. Which didn't materialise. I know of one United player who was not near being a first team regular but was still on £2k/week.

    Sieb was the business. I always remember if we conceded a corner it was pretty much zero problem as he always came out to clutch them. Then on the very rare occasion he missed, it was utter chaos in the box. 😂 Very entertaining.
