Great keeper. Really enjoyed watching him for us actually and would love us to have kept him. What was the game he played for us which I think ended 0-0 and it was on sky- he was unbelievable. May even have been at Leicester funnily enough but not sure on that: can remember him having at least one unbelievable game for us though.

Thought he was brilliant for us as well when we had him.
He started the season for Man City as well that year.
This is the game you’re referring to.

We were struggling that season until around the New Year. We then made the FA Cup final.
The return game at Ninian Park that season was famous for a quite bizarre own goal from Darren Purse. I've scoured YouTube for a clip but with no luck. It was a truly awful performance from us as well. I could never fathom out why we could have played so brilliantly for a few games, then would have a dip where we didn't look like we'd played together for weeks.
Yes. It was from a long goal kick that carried in the strong wind. Enckelman was expecting Purse to leave it bounce through to him and was standing to the left of his goal. Purse caught it perfectly on the volley as came down from space and Enckelman's flailing leg got nowhere near it. Even Ali on the tannoy sounded embarrassed when he had to announce it. One of our worst own goals ever, up there with Andy Jordan and Jason Bowen.
He's a really good keeper now, I remember him being a bit skinny in his youth and getting bullied against Bristol City, to the extent where I can't see why Arsenal and Chelsea went for keepers from abroad when Kasper was ready for it. Danny Ward has a heck of a job breaking into that team.
