My first ever game was 1982 and it was Les Sealy (apparently) vs spurs but I don’t really count it as my first.

I started going up regularly in 1987 so it was Oggy vs Luton. In goal for Luton that day? Les Sealy.

Same as Voice of Reason. Peter Taylor. Almost certainly in that same season 1952/3.

Likewise.

Those execises he did when the ball was up the other end, I always thought he would get caught out with a quick break while his eye was off the play, he never was.

Looking at the replies so far, I think it's time to start handing out the Werther's Originals.

Hey, some of us are still young whipper snappers.

And, er, Bill Glazier vs Birmingham City.

What did he do?
I seem to remember Oggy used to do star jumps on the edge of the penalty area.

Can we please make sure they’re the soft chewy ones, trying to hang on to the few teeth I’ve got left.

I can't say as a teenager I paid much attention to what was happening off the ball but it was something like a pushup his body would be parallel to the goal line and near the ground at the edge of the area.

There's a bench in St Nicholas Park, Warwick dedicated to Bob Wesson. My dog stops at it every time, and asks for a treat. Saw the name, recognised it as a former City keeper. Googled it. Wrong Bob Wesson. Makes me smile each time, and whoever he was, he gets an almost daily recognition from my dog and me!
