Tom Heaton

[Tuerto]

Recently signed a 1 year extension with Manchester United which will see him up until his 40th Birthday. Some achievement, although this is his 2nd spell with United, combined he has been with them for 9 years and is yet to make a first team League appearance if Wiki is correct. That has to be some kind of record, unless anyone else knows better.

Re: Tom Heaton

I’ve always rated him. One of those players who should have had a much better career.

It’s probably more for their contribution in training with drills etc.
you can’t overwork number 1 and 2.

Agreed, three England caps as well.

Re: Tom Heaton

A nonsense loop hole to fill the home grown players quota. Btec goalkeepers earning life changing money just to get around another bollocks PL rule.

Football and the PL in particular needs a full reset.

At first i thought it was a spoof, not so. That's brilliant, i'd like to shake his hand. I'm buying the book on the back of your post, cheers Lardy :thumbup:

No worries! Not read the book but I've listened to a podcast on him, maybe two. Really charismatic guy it seems if he could fool so many people for so long.

And sometimes getting themselves a champions League medal in the process.

Re: Tom Heaton

After thinking about it in light of this thread, I reckon the best two keepers I've seen at the club in sixty two years os supporting it were both here at the same time - Heaton and Marshall.

I’m inclined to agree Bob. We’ve had some great keepers over the years, including Schmeichel who went on to great things after being with us probably a little early in his career.

No disrespect to Marshall but, of the two, I always felt that Heaton was the better keeper and deserved to be number one.

Marshall is the best keeper I've seen in a City shirt. Miles better than Heaton. In my opinion.

Re: Tom Heaton

The one position that we've historically managed to get right (cough).

When I first started watching the City in the mid-70s, we had Bill Irwin and Ron Healey. Since that time, we've been blessed with some outstanding 'keepers.
