If you ask me, Steven Naismith has some set of balls operating with two top-class keepers in Craig Gordon and Zander Clark. I’ve said it for years – all goalies are MENTAL, so dealing with not one but two guys who think they should be the man wearing the No.1 jersey is brave of the Hearts manager.
I spent 20 years in the game and didn’t meet a shot-stopper who wasn’t mad in some way. Listen, anyone who is willing to spend their life rolling about in the mud must have a screw loose.
I know from experience having done it a couple of times myself! There was Alan Main at St Johnstone. What a player he was ...
but also an absolute crackpot. The thing about playing in nets is that you have to be very vocal. But Maino didn’t know how to turn that off once he left the pitch.
