Andy Dibble

How does one even begin to talk about Andy Dibble? This Welsh goalkeeper strangely played more Premier League games than most of the other goalkeepers who suffered the fate of being removed after a horrible performance.

Many would agree that all his time and experience probably amounted to nothing as he spent nine years at Manchester City playing around 150 games taking the role of a backup to the first choice keeper Tony Coton.

His moment of despair came when he infamously allowed Nottingham Forest’s Gary Crosby to drive the ball from his hands and directly into the goal in what can only be described as the player’s most forgettable performance. Even then he never managed to prove a good position at any of the decent clubs that he joined and lost his name in the crowd of players as time went on.
