Come on folks - our great friend Tony Roberts is coming to Christie Park on Saturday - let's give him a great Northern welcome when he runs out and then get right behind the team for 90 mins.

Mick does that mean you are up top giving us shake it up baby?

Because the Daggers will not bring many fans -sorry lads but that is how it is, I will be able to get top side and get the lads going (hope Carlisle Paul can join me - come on you part timer).

I dont think I'm the man who can start the noise now at my age but hopefully I can start an atmosphere!!!!

Well who cares if they dont bring many lets get behind our team they need it I think!!

Tony Roberts is possibly the funniest and therefore my favourite ever away player. even though he broke my heart in the penalty shoot out he is worth the admission fee on his own. he not only expects the banter he loves it. screw the respect campaign, he'll want some abuse(within reason) it makes him play better and he clearly enjoys it. so lets give him a warm welcome and then a load of funny (if it aint funny it dont count) "abuse".

Best away keeper to wind up.We found out his nickname was froggit at school and started singing it,what a reaction we got.One of our fans went to school with him.Sing it to him on saturday,never know it might distract him.

According to wiki, in the eight years at Daggers 1 goal.

Wonder where that came from

Edit: Some trivia about him.
Roberts holds the distinction of being the only goalkeeper ever to score a goal in an FA Cup tie when he netted for Dagenham at Basingstoke Town in a 4th qualifying round tie in October 2001.

Roberts also holds the record for the only goalkeeper ever to be sent off in the FA Cup in the opposing area. This occurred after his scuffle with Peter Clarke against Southend United at Roots Hall in the FA Cup 3rd round on the 5 January 2008.

Am looking forward to giving old man Roberts some cheeky abuse - wasn't he suspended or injured last season.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, he does enjoy the banter but it does seem to inspire him - surely he's due and off day against us!!

Think i'm going to miss seeing Kermit due to covering holidays at work

A real downer, so it's the next home game for me i'm afraid

I think we need you back up there to be honest, especially when the team most needs its 12th man. A little bit of "shake it up baby" and the party starts

Froggit! Brilliant! I still remember the day years ago when someone found out his nickname and shouted at him, the look of pure horror was one of the funniest things I've seen at football (apart from Phil falling down the stairs but thats another story)
He was on top form at Dagenham away last season, and fair play to him he does take some stick!

Talking about banter with the opposing goalkeepers, who remembers good old Danny Potter

Going back to the original title of this thread, what is a ******* ?

"Oi! Potter where's y'chair?"


Are you sure that's not offensive to people in wheel chairs?

Especially as we are so close to the "disabled" stand.

I remember it too. It was in the days were you could go into the bar at half time, and carlise paul was talking to someone who went to school with FROGGIT. It was like chinese wispers going through the north stand, his face was a picture

Tony Roberts is always good for a joke, he knows what sort of a reception he is going to get from the morecambe fans, i think he enjoys the bannter.

I was also at the dagernham game last year, but all i can remember is our golkeeper throwing the ball between his legs into the back of his own net.

Not as good as the original but I thought this deserved re-visiting. Couldn't find the old TR picture which was an absolute spit of Beaker but still.

Is this what you're looking for, Posh?
