Opposition Goalie

Can anyone else remember everyone applauding the opposing goalkeeper at the start of the half if he was defending the kop or am I going mad?
Just finished a zoom Monday night 'out' and everyone else thought I was talking bollox.
 
You are correct, sort of
The Liverpool Kop were known for sportingly applauding the opposition goalie as he ran to that end
Leicester at Filbert Street Spion Kop.... we used to applaud, when the keeper left the tunnel to run over, then as soon as he raised his hands to applaud back, 5,000 in the Kop would flick the V's and jeer him

20 years ago when my kids were young and i took them to a game..... we'd give it the "ooooooooooooh, you're shit" and my kids would say, they sound like Pirates , dad

I can remember in 1974 we played Arsenal a few days after Bob Wilson announced his retirement at the end of the season. What happened next was the stuff that only football crowds could perform, as Wilson ran to the kop end the whole crowd applauded, Bob, of course, applauded back, the kop then sang as one "Wilson, Wilson Knackers Yard, Wilson Knackers Yard" who orchestrated this piece of magic? maybe someone knows. I can still see Peter Simpson having a little chuckle to himself. Happy Days
 
Iโ€™m assuming that when Banks and Shilton returned with Stoke they were applauded. I bloody hope so. I was definitely at the match in 1975 when Shilton returned but have no recollection of applause.

We sang another song that night :D
 
I remember Ian Hesford of Hull running towards the Kop, he got a round of applause so he got his belly out, which brought a chorus of "You fat bastard". An unsurprising outcome but as ice breakers go it was a decent one.

Sadly died of a heart attack aged 54.
 
Banks was always given a hero's reception. It was a different tale though, with Shilton.

Apparently young Peter hadn't made himself the most popular person with the townies at the time of his breakthrough, but he was tolerated due to him 'playing down the City'. Needless to say that upon his return with Stoke, all that bitterly resurfaced. However he upped the ante to meltdown when he went on to commit the most heinous of offences by taking the Clough shilling at Forest. Factor in that affair with Tina, which took place in full media glare and you have a ready-made Molotov, chucking-ready. The abuse was loud, incessant and merciless. so much so that even I nearly felt sorry for him. - Nearly.

I remember Frank planting a superb free kick past Shilton in a 1-0 win in 1976, it was a night game
 

His first game back. Certainly a hint of booing from the Kop. Great equaliser. Shilton went on a walkabout!
