Cammy Bell saved 4 in the one season he was at United.
3 v Dunfermline
1 v Hibs
Shite at geography, good at penalties.

I have deleted those seasons from my memory.
Aye did he not leave because he never realised how far away Dundee was from Dumfries?

Re: What United Goalie?
My choice.
Not the best Goalie we ever had, but did save a few pens including one in a Derby behind a Shedful of baying BNB's.
Saved Greg Stewart’s v them. Saved 2 pens in the quarters shout out at Easter road and 1 in the final v Celtic.
Almost an incredible cup run.

What final against Celtic?
As CCX2 said we blank a few seasons out but not those seasons.

Yeah, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Re: What United Goalie?
At least we don't need a thread to discover who was the worst goalkeeper ever to play for us 🙁

Re: What United Goalie?

4 pen saves in a Cup run is outstanding.
I actually really liked Rado as a Goalie. He was prone to a howler but when he was good he was very good.
Seems to have been unfavourably remembered because he flapped at St.Johnstone's goal in the cup final we won't mention.
He was a good Goalie imo and ironically if we'd won that Final, which we easily could have, he'd probably be a bit of an icon.
Thin line. Wafer thin at times.

I actually thought he was poor at the time. We had a load of Eastern European keepers at that time who were all very similar. Good shot stoppers good technically. Terrible in the air. Zaluska the worst. Right up to Seigriest.
History would say rado was decent though. Sure he went on to play in the champions league after us.
