Joe Hart to retire at the end of 2023-24 season

Alfie Budd said:
His debut was a couple years before that when Sven was manager. The Spurs game was when he returned to City after a full season on loan at Birmingham and there was some debate over whether Joe or Shay Given would be first choice - a debate that was pretty much over after that 90 minutes!

I remember being at Spurs for the first game of the season. It ended up 0-0, and Super Joey Hart definitelty saved us that day!
All the best to him, and I for one have nothing but fond memories!

On his best dy he was Head amd Shoulders above most keepers around at that time. I wish him every success in whatever he does next (unless it's as a coach for one of our rivals of course).

Its fair to say he was in good Condition years ago, now he looks a bit Washed Out?
 
First of many fantastic decisions from Pep fucking him off at the first opportunity. Had a few miraculous games, Spurs away in the League, Barca and Dortmund at home in Europe, outside of that he was limited and vastly overrated. He couldn't do what Ederson does in a million years!

Great keeper for us.

I remember the friendly in Iceland maybe the or one of Peps first games. Pep kept telling him to play it out and he just kept banging it long. Maybe he had already been told he was off but I thought it was odd behaviour and I think that may have put off some clubs going for him.

i don’t think badly treated just a change of style. Richard Dunne holds that accolade he was bombed out.

I remember that friendly, Pep reacted as I used to when he used to belt endless long balls to Aguero that just went straight to the opposition. The camera panned to him after the ball sailed out of play and his face said everything about Joe Harts career prospects at City under Guardiola
 
Monumental GK for us - his performances and record stratospheric. For England, when Joe and Neuer's international careers were overlapping - both having then played 70-odd games, Joe had a better clean sheet record. Neuer played behind one of the best defences and midfields to ever walk this planet. Joe played behind an England side that for many years during his international career was average at best so to have a better clean sheet record than Neuer is monumental. For some reason the press never pick up on that. He made a microscopically small number of mistakes for England but the press blew them out of proportion. Then you have Pickford - regularly makes big errors for England (some good saves in between though). In the all-time clean sheet records he is right at the top - his record is better than Shilton, Seaman the lot. Shilton and Seaman played behind decent England defences. And before anyone says 'More minnows now' - Seaman's career encompasses the era of the break up of various parts of eastern Europe.

So, Joe, you are a colossal GK - able to make saves other GKs cannot make. Thanks for everything!!

the bitter bastard said the torino game where the ball was crossed over his head into the goal

There is no pleasure in telling others what happened. I told one other on here via a private message at the time. I was shocked and didn't want to cause an issue so never said it publicly. But it certainly happened and Joe let him self down that day for whatever reason.

Clearly during his City career he was a class act, I worshipped him like tens of thousands of others but that little incident left a sour taste.

Tottenham, away, first match of the 2010/11 season. He was phenomenal that day.

And his best individual save? Against Swansea.

All the best in your retirement, Joe. You are a true club legend in my eyes.

I really rate his save vs Everton in 2013/14. Absolutely critical. That was also the game when Dzeko lay dead for 6+ minutes
 
Great keeper at his peak, sadly his attitude and the way he left will damage his legacy somewhat.

Mancini, Pellegrini and Pep all had issues with him, it will be interesting what Joe says in the coming years as to why.

Despite a very difficult period when his career nosedived he can look back with great pride in what he achieved.

Hopefully he can be welcomed back at the club at sometime but I doubt that will happen anytime soon while Pep and Txiki are around.
 
Fair play to him retiring at 36 when he still feels in good shape. Too many go on for too long.

He’s had an amazing career and whilst he was prone to the odd howler (which keeper isn’t though?) fantastic servant to the club and wish him all the best.
