Stephen GoldsmithHOST
He'll do something."
Pete OliverGUEST
This is, this is something that, uh, our Ian from, um, from the, the WTF podcast brought up when, uh, it was during the live show with McGeady.
Pete OliverGUEST
And, and we were talking about what do we do if Xhaka has to have some time out the team for the, for the influence that he can have on a game with the ball and everything like that, and with the pa- range of passing.
Pete OliverGUEST
Ian just said, he's like, "No, we've got, we've got Lafille.
Pete OliverGUEST
We're fine." Um, I mean, not that we're fine.
Pete OliverGUEST
Obviously, any team's gonna lack the quality of one of the players dropping out, but the belief is there, and I hadn't really thought of it until Ian had said it.
Pete OliverGUEST
But really, yeah, I've got absolute faith in, in what, um, Enzo can do that...
Pete OliverGUEST
I mean, granted, I don't think he's gonna do exactly what Granit Xhaka gives you in the leadership stakes there and what he does with that, but I've got confidence he can take care of the on-field stuff like that.
Yoni SidiGUEST
Sometimes I'd actually be involved in training.
Yoni SidiGUEST
I remember days when the likes of Ian Walker would be, you know, "Oh, kid, go in goal," and then sh- you know, he'd start shooting.
Leo JudkinsHOST
[laughs]
Yoni SidiGUEST
And as I got closer to Ronnie, um, and also saw the people that he was close to, so Jürgen Klinsmann was a really big friend of his.
NickGUEST
But the goal, like, for example, like, you know, stick pumping a long ball forward, you know, fuck me.
NickGUEST
I'm like, Ian Walker used to do that back in the day.
NickGUEST
Do you know what I mean? Paul Robinson could do that.
NickGUEST
It's not really picking a player out.
Gareth DaceHOST
Unbelievably for Spurs, there were no injuries, so we picked the same 11 that had won 1-0 at Wimbledon in the semifinal.
Gareth DaceHOST
So that Spurs team that day is Ian Walker in goal.
Gareth DaceHOST
Back four, Steven Carr, Ramon Vega, Sol Campbell, and Justin Edinburgh.
Gareth DaceHOST
Uh, it's a midfield four of Anderton, Nielsen, Steffen Freund, and then Ginola, with Iversen and Ferdinand up front.
Dave HendrickHOST
Like, but goalkeepers the same.
Dave HendrickHOST
Like I was thinking when we were doing the goalkeepers, I think and England used to have David Seaman, and then they had Nigel Martin, Tim Flowers, and Ian Walker was the fourth goalkeeper.
Karl MatchettHOST
Mm.
Dave HendrickHOST
And I would say Ian Walker at his best was as good as Pickford is as, at his best, and Pickford is the undisputed number one for the last, what? Seven years or something, eight years.
Karl MatchettHOST
I don't think on Pickford's best game he gets within, [laughs] not to make a joke about it, but reaching distance of, um, David James' best game.
Karl MatchettHOST
It's just-
PeterHOST
Anyway, let me, if I may, though, if you don't mind me walking you through sort of something and sort of nothing, who knows.
PeterHOST
So yesterday we got the very, very sad news that basically Kevin Miller, goalkeeper for us in the mid-90s, and some of you guys won't know who he was and others of you who will remember him, as very possibly the second best goalkeeper because Tony Coton, who Graham Taylor bought in his first year, probably reigned supreme.
PeterHOST
He really should have played for England had he probably not had a few visits to court in his Birmingham time.
PeterHOST
But Kevin Miller came to us from Birmingham, quarter of a million pounds he was, he played three seasons we got to interview him last october
PeterHOST
yeah and of course you don't realize when you get to to speak to people and they always say never meet your heroes and what have you and i'm sure in many cases that's true but we've been lucky enough that we've got seemingly quite quite tolerant form former legends and players and kevin miller was was one Lovely bloke.
PeterHOST
He's down in Devon and Cornwall.
PeterHOST
He was down in Devon at the time, working for Exeter as a goalkeeper coach.
PeterHOST
He finished, he went up with Caldwell, their manager, to go to Wigan, which is where he finished, obviously, in the end.
FKHOST
I've got to say [laughs] Terence is making me chuckle.
FKHOST
"Dobbo, Darren Anderson wants his hair back." [laughs] And then he's followed up with Ian Walker.
FKHOST
If you guys are old enough to remember these two players, yeah, ex-ex-Spurs' goalkeeper.
FKHOST
I love that.
Joe DevineHOST
Of course.
John McKenziePANELIST
You could have had Ian Walker, the goalkeeper.
Joe DevineHOST
Of course.
Joe DevineHOST
Of course I could have.
Adam NathanHOST
It was October time, 3-1.
Jake RobsonHOST
Ian Walker in goal?
Adam NathanHOST
Nope.
JohnnyHOST
No.
JonesyHOST
So you could just buy the heads separately, I think.
WoodyHOST
What, and then put Ian Walker on top of a David Seaman body? Yeah,
JonesyHOST
yeah.
JonesyHOST
God, who did I have? I think I had a Liverpool one, I can't remember.
