This doesn't happen nowadays cos of the millions of subs you can have but, and younger viewers may find this shocking, if a keeper was injured an outfield player went in goal
Trying to think of players who done this for town
I remember Osman was actually quite useful but had a rugby background I think
who else did this? |  |

Ian Cranson played a blinder away against Sunderland in the late 80s only for the lino to fck it up by giving them a late pen. Cranson almost saved it I remember |  | | |

David Hill at Brighton. He wasn’t a very good left back and he wasn’t a very good goalkeeper either! |  | | |

I think it was a last minute/injury time winner that finally beat him as well. |  |

Seem to remember Neil Gregory keeping a clean sheet after coming on very early in a reserves match, think we beat Watford 3-0. |  | | |

Osman did it against West Brom in the 80/81 season kept a clean sheet 0-0 draw I can’t remember exactly but I think he was in goal for a good 40 minutes | | | |

Matt Holland in goal with Kevin Francis up front for Oxford was a slight mismatch for any crosses. | | | |

It was. High ball under the crossbar flapped downwards to the Brighton attacker from memory! | | | |

I went to primary school with Neil Gregory. Can confirm he was a decent keeper. | | | |

Trevor Whymark took over in goal for the final minute of our match at Aston Villa in 1976, when Laurie Sivell was carried off injured after diving at Andy Gray’s feet. |  | | |

Wasn't the Holland one when Wright went off to the dressing room to get stitches and returned to play and Holland was in goal whilst he was stitched? Or was that a different match or am I imagining that completely? |  |

Yes, you are correct.
Holland scored later in the game, making him Town's only goal-scoring goalkeeper. Sort of. | | | |

I vaguely remember Holland saving a penalty (but possibly they scored from the rebound).
About 100 years ago … |  | | |

That's right. Pretty sure Holland conceded in his brief cameo in goal, possibly even twice? |  |

I seemed to recall 5-1 but it was actually 5-2. Went 0-1 down before Wright returned to the pitch and then went on to win comfortably. | |
