J_RFC87 761 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ham/7595990.stm Fulham goalkeeper Antti Niemi has retired from football. The 36-year-old, who has 67 international caps for Finland, had already planned to quit when his current deal ran out in 2009. A great goalkeeper, done well wherever he went Apart from us, could never really budge Klos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Great goalkeeper. Shame he didn't get a chance with us although he had to fantastic goalies like Goram, Charbonnier and Klos in front of him. I'l stilll remember his world class save against Parma in the UEFA Cup in Advocaats first season. Think the game finished 1-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac444 6 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Niemi has announced his retirement from football. A wrist injury has brought his planned retirement forward. Would like to wish him all the best cracking keeper just a pity he had Stefan infront of him during his time in Glasgow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Shelbourne could have had a second on 20 minutes when Dean Fitzgerald played in Baker, but his weak cross was easily cut out by Antti Niemi in the Rangers goal. Quick search on google, here's a quote from the match report, niemi was in goals WVB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVB 2,560 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Not a bad bit of memory from myself considering the nick of me back then. It was the police horse coming through the pub that sticks in the mind about that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 A good keeper whos injuries robbed him of the chance of becoming the number one at a big, big club. He was horrific for the final couple of years of his career, mind due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
