Seems like Bevan may never play again. Great shame if he did retire. Always liked him and was good for us in his time here.

(Apologies if in wrong board but seeing as he was apart of TUFC in our promotion year I felt it should be placed on here.)

Yes, it would be very sad for Scotty if he were forced to retire. He is 33 and so has had a decent career thus far which i'm sure he is thankful for but i hope he can continue for many more years as he always gave his best for us and was a well liked and key member of our success under Buckle.

Very sad for Scotty if this happens to him. No one likes to see any player lose his career through injury. Hope he can recover to resume his career. maybe he will get better but have to come back to us in the next year to get back on track. You never know.

Yep I would to wish Scott Bevan all the luck and really hope he can play on, being honest don't think he is amongst the best keepers we have had in recent times, still a very good servant of our club though.

Just ashame he left us on bad terms. He probably new he was going Bristol before the Rotherham game.

How many minutes did he play without conceding a goal in 2010-11 ?
Remember it being an awful long while...

[Glostergull]

I think you will find if my mamory serves me right. it was just under 1,000 minutes. Missed the magic 1,000 be only 8 or so I believe. Now that is a very long time in football.

In that record breaking clean sheet record for the club, Bevan was not involved in it all. He got injured at the latter stage of the season, certainly against Bury away(poke was in the sticks, albeit he was also injured) and the last game of that season against Chesterfield we had an emergency keeper. So not all Bevans doing

We didn't conceed a goal for 998 minutes - comprising of the final 61 minutes vs Shresbury at home, ten full 90 minute matches, then the first 37 minutes vs Port Vale.

Of those 998 minutes, Bevan was in goal for 520 minutes (52%)
Michael Poke was in goal for 388 minutes (39%)
Collis was in goal for 90 minutes (9%)

Bevan was in goal for Shrewsbury, Northampton, Rochdale (when he went off injured after 62 minutes and Poke/Collis finished the season) 2009/10 and Northampton, Lincoln, Bradford and Port Vale in 2010/11 - so he was involved in 7 of the 12 record breaking matches.

Looks like he could be coming back close to full fitness:

Looking at those minutes for the clean sheet record, surely if the referee adds time on at the end of a game, then that counts too?

That would put us over 1000 minutes wouldn't it? Would we then break the league record? Thinking 10x 3 mins added on average is an extra 30 mins clean sheet.

[Gulliball]

Literally, yes. But for record keeping purposes, only 90 minutes count.
