Think it may have been mentioned a few times on Twitter
Fair play to the chap, liked him a lot when he was here, was clearly a step above. Seems a good bloke in a slightly nuts sort of way (what was that thing he did with his Golden glove trophy?) but nice to have watched a genuine World Cup match winner down at Reading, and without overplaying it too much, certainly his loan spell helped kick start his career
Yeah I think his loan with us did kickstart his career. He came in when we were really up against it and had nowhere to hide, especially being a keeper. He played a huge part in us staying up and I think it was the next season he got into Arsenal's team, which then enabled him to move onto Villa.
And yes, the spunking golden glove award, in front of all the sexually repressed Qatari misogynists, was fantastic.
