Was Richard Wright Moyes's first signing?

Had a very high ceiling, unfortunately he fell through the loft hatch of said high ceiling 🤣

I think Tim Howard is probably the most overrated player we’ve ever had in the premier league.

He gets treated like a club legend and I thought he was largely rubbish.

May be harsh, but I didn’t rate him at all.

Howard was OK, but I'd have Martyn over him.

In fact, I'm not sure there's much in it between Martyn and Pickford.

I think the problem with Howard was he stayed here longer than he should have.

Was a solid enough keeper for me for many years but he out stayed his welcome when he became one of the "moyes boys".

No where near as good as many made out but was decent at the time.

Was it against Blackburn we had a keeper sent off and then brought on a clone?

Was it Ruddy and Turner?

Ruddy I think, in first few minutes too, and kept a clean sheet iirc, think we won 1-0. Wasn’t it Richard Wright who handled outside his box?

That was Turner.

Thought howard was really good for a long while. Awful towards the end and martinezs delusions probably didn't help towards the end.

Martinez’s playing from the back made Howard look shite, you had Stones doing loads of weird and wonderful kamikaze shit that played Howard in to trouble.
