My Time In Football Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Evening everyone, Our latest ex-Oldham player to feature on the website is Bruce Grobbelaar. Only made a handful of appearances for Oldham but a few Oldham fans submitted questions so there is a bit of content at the end. The rest of the interview is quite interesting anyway, with Bruce talking about winning the European Cup for Liverpool as well as loads of other stuff. http://mytimeinfootball.com/Bruce_Grobbelaar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I remember the first time he took a penalty pre match into an open goal and hit the bar and everybody laughed. they didn't when he repeated the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 When you were warming up before the game, I remember you taking penalties to try and hit the crossbar. Did you do that at all of your clubs or just for us? (Gary, Oldham Athletic fan) It was just at Oldham. They used to say "Hold 'em Oldham" so I just tried to hit the crossbar. Apart from it's obviously "Told" rather than "Hold", does that make any sense whatsoever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Time In Football Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I thought exactly the same. Bruce chuckled to himself after he gave us the answer, though. And he definitely said: "Hold' em!" Didn't make any sense to me but I thought I'd chuck it in anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Was he drinking from a coke bottle when you interviewed him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I remember the first time he took a penalty pre match into an open goal and hit the bar and everybody laughed. they didn't when he repeated the trick I remember watching a clip of him in Liverpool's dressing room in the 80s, where he was doing keep-ups against the wall, hitting the lightswitch and turning the lights on and off with every kick.

Didn't make any sense to me but I thought I'd chuck it in anyway! I think he may have blended "Give us T... Give us an I... Give us a T..." into Cannon and Ball there, and come up with an answer all of his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 What was your favourite pre-match meal? I always had spaghetti carbonara. I liked that because it was pasta. A nice bit of insight there from Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
