Young goal keeper with Greek parents has just been released by Shrewsbury who took the lad on from Blackburn Rovers. Born in Morecambe and was picked up by Rovers age 11. Spent a good few years there and played a fair few aswell. The lad could be a good understudy to barry. Found this info on http://www.footballforums.net whether it's true or not is another thing.

Truth !!! why should that matter It is after all silly season.

I played with Andreas a few times when I was 7 or 8, his grandad used to train him up on the college field opposite McDonalds.



Garry Hunter look-a-like ?

Is this the guy who went to Lancaster Royal Grammar School? Apparently Blackburn thought this kid there was going to be a future England keeper, and gave the sports teachers an absolute bollocking when they found out he was playing rugbybecause they didn't want him risking injuring his hands.

shows you who he's worked under --> http://www.givemefootball.com/transfer- ... yerID=8810

And he played for Morecambe Youth FC ... (makes you proud)!

He looked very capable when he got his chance last season and I was surprised to see him released. We have promoted another young keeper to the pro ranks from the youth team so I can only think that he was rated as the better prospect of the two.

Good luck to him, I hope he does well for you.

Greek parents? His mum's a northern lass, used to work behind the bar at the shrimp. Grandparents live across from McD.

Are you thinking of Mark Bunn by any chance?

Heard a rumour about this one about a month ago, but said nowt, didn't want expose source.
Very positive signing imo, should do well for us if happens and should feel at home straight away!

In the year above me Joel. He was a bit of a tit but v.good goalie.

Some discussion on the Fans Forum that the new Shrews manager may offer him a contract after all.

lets hope that he gets a better contract offer from Morecambe then

Didn`t he play for Bare Rangers who at the time had links with Blackburn Rovers

Unless Paul Simpson wants him for Stockport ..... ??

he had a loan spell at Lancaster City once, I remember the headlines in the local rag about City signing a Premier League star

he did indeed play for Bare in a very good team where he was never been tested, which was the reason he was moved to a couple of teams where he was going to get some work. He started bringing down 17 & 15 nil drubbings to single figures. And we still have club links with Blackburn

he has signed a 1 year contract at Preston North End

another one slips thru the net!!
