Can't believe its been 10 years though! at 30 he still has many years left in him Unfortunately I think his injury problems might prove to be an issue. He’s undoubtedly good enough for that level but it would be a risk for a club to take him when they’re not sure if he’s going to be fit or not 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jed. * Sh*t trophy, though: Villa must have an account with Timsons or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Amazing to think he only played 36 games for us in a decade, but what will give fond memories is that 16 of those were in the Championship promotion year, madness.

However, I remember the draw against Chelsea in the cup that went to penalties after Archer scored. Steer's dives were so slow the ball had hit the net and been collected before he landed. It was so strange, like he was buffering or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Is he fit enough to be on the bench as the 3rd GK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Will always be remembered for the Championship play-offs and the part he played. I hope he gets picked up by another team, really quickly and gets to play a lot. Fantastic servant to the club, I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the struggles he’s had with injury it’s great that he’ll have that unbeaten run and play-offs to look back on, he played a big part in that success. Good look Jed.

Pinebro Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Definitely a cult hero for what he did in the play offs. But the club legend claims is laughable. I don't know if it's meant as a semi joke or if people are genuinely serious about it. Regardless thank you for everything Jed. Great lad and good luck!

It is, does show how rare getting 10 years is though even if he wasn't even here for most of it, that's more the point with what the club is doing Trying to think who else we've had with 10 years as a pro for us, no one since gabby is there?

Gabby isn't a club legend either imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
