Roy Eric Carroll will be remembered as one of football's great entertainers.

His middle name was bestowed upon him after the great Eric Morecombe , and he seemed to inherit a gift for comedy.

He developed a hilarious routine whereby he kept goal in the style of Norman Wisdom.

Many will recall his quite memorable act for Man u - pretending to fumble a longe range effort over the line v Spurs for example.

And whilst at Derby, he produced a one man showF v Aston Villa which launched the careers of so many of their young strikers.

Stilian Petrov could hardly score for laughing.

Like many of the great entertainers - but very few of the great keepers - Roy battled the twin demons of alchohol and gambling as his brilliant career slowly unravelled.

He was last seen in this country fumbling crosses to the amusement of the crowd at Barnet, before he hysterically walked out in a huff having not been made manager ( no doubt leaving the directors rolling around on the floor in fits).

A very funny man and a comic genius.

Sadly now seemingly lost to the game in this country.

Giles Barnes is a gump who turned down insurance for a life outside football and is now being pimped all over the world by his agent because what DCFC said about his knees being knackered was true

What is a gump anyway?

The level is equivalent to Championship. SJK is 4th at the moment. Valakari's job is to take the team to our highest level in two years time.

I went to watch HJK vs. Jokerit many years ago. Only realised after looking back over the photos recently that the big no. 9 who scored for the team in black (Jokerit?) was none other than Mr Shefki Kuqi.

Later we went to a bar with a sauna in the back and everyone got naked and shaved themselves...

Opposide to each other? Bet it was a bit cut throat in there.
