I think both keepers threw the ball into their own net at least once. I remember Jimmy making a really bad error against the Albion but can't remember the details.
I need to check my facts as I am not sure where the " butter fingers " reputation came fromAs an asideAlong with a few other posters/readers on this site, after the first European away game trip to Royal Antwerp we stumbled into a bar in the early/late hours of the morning.In my Memory (I was pissed) Gidman, Morgan, Cumbes, Philips , + others. After introduction s, raising of glasses and general banter Sammy announced, I have fucked up, not sure his exact words, most goalies in the league and if cumbes plays like that again I will fuck him up tooDrinks all around
Sammy did wear glasses off the pitch.

We scored 3 goals in 10 minutes in the second half to win 3-1 so no long term damage. But 6 months later John Burridge arrived....
