I can think of 3 for Town, have there been any others?
Matt Holland (Oxford H, for Richard Wright whilst getting stitched up, conceded 1 I think)
Neil Gregory (Charlton H, for injured Craig Forrest, conceded 4)
Russell Osman, can anyone remember who this was against?, seem to recall he kept a clean sheet too

I think Osman may have done it more than once? I can recall there was a lot of chatter about him being a youth rugby player, possibly at International level? |  |

West Brom was the game I remember, around 1980-ish, ended 0-0.

Ian Cranson at Sunderland circa 87. I think he kept a clean sheet until a late late penalty. |  |

I may be wrong, but I think Trevor Whymark might have done it. As an aside Alan Hunter’s brother Victor was a decent goalkeeper in Northern Island non-league. |  | | |

Whymark in the 70s? |  | | |

Gregory against Huddersfield as well I think, lost 3-1 in about Sep ‘96. |  |

I'm sure Greggors went in goal replacing Forrest vs. Charlton and then for Wright against Huddersfield.
Am I right in thinking one of them was a 5-1 loss?
David Hill went in goal at Brighton around 1988 after Forrest was stretchered off, think we lost 1-0. [Post edited 28 Oct 2020 21:52]

Oh well remembered. Don't know why I recalled the Cranson one ahead of this, as I was actually there!
From memory, Hill spilled the ball for their winner. | |

I thought 5-1 was home against Reading with Holland going in fairly early on? I stand to be corrected though. |  | | |

Nah, the Holland temporary appearance was against Oxford and came in that spell when we scored 5 goals in each of 3 home games on the trot:
5-1 vs Huddersfield
5-0 vs Norwich
5-2 vs Oxford. | | | |

Holland was out-jumped by Kevin Francis for Oxford's first goal despite Francis not actually leaving the ground. |  | | |

What were the subs allowed in the FL at that time? Given the two Gregory incidents and the Holland one, I wondered who was on the bench. Presumably not a keeper!
Was there a difference from the Prem rules at the time as a few years before, we were in a position to bring Baker on after Forrest was red carded? I'm also bearing in mind that as Holland's stay in goal was temporary, we didn't want to waste a substitution. | |

Ah, that's it. Then the fourth game was against Reading, who were rubbish, Dave Allard or similar confidently predicted us to score ten, and in the end it was a scrappy 1-0 like last night. | | | |

It was just 3 named subs, think you could only play 2 of them at that time. We sometimes had Lee Bracey as sub keeper but thought Gregory offered a better option for flexibility... And a better keeper than Bracey!
It was the be rules as the Clive Baker appearance, we just had a keeper on the bench that day. [Post edited 28 Oct 2020 22:58]

In fairness, Francis was 6 ft 7. | | | |

Yes, Charlton was 5-1. Tony Vaughan got sent off too. It was the last match I saw before I went to uni so Sep '95. | |

You could be thinking of the match where the Bulgarian Reading keeper Bobby Mihailov was red carded ? I believe that they had an outfield player go in goal. | | | |

David Webb started in goal against us and Chelsea still beat us. |  | | |

He also played as an emergency centre forward against us and scored a hat trick in a 3-1 win. | | | |

Even when it went to 5 subs on the bench, some managers such as Warnock preferred the greater flexibility of having 5 outfield players & usually didn't have a keeper on the bench. I think we always used to have a spare keeper when it went to 5. |  |

I watched Sheffield United at Millwall in the early 2000s. Paddy Kenny and aNorwich hated Kevin Muscat got sent off at half time and Jagielka went in goal. Sheffield United turned a 1-0 deficit around to win 2-1 and it was really quite funny being in the home end. | |
