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

[adr2.8i]

A bargain buy and a fantastic City servant.

His save at Swansea from a corner still ranks as one of THE best saves ive seen in my lifetime! incredible.

happy retirement Joe

James and scmiechel were ok. But seaman was an abomination

David James was class for us

Yep. We'd have gone down in that 03/04 season were it not for James. That penalty save at Leicester from Dickov to keep the game at 1-1 should be up there with other big moments where City rescued were rescued from oblivion.

Wasnt he reported to have cost as little as £100k? Certainly paid his fee back and a big part of our early recent success.

yes i do believe he was around the 100k mark, at the time it was reported it was around £500k but i think Wardle came out a few years later saying it was 100k :-)

Was Pearce the manager who bought him? If so Joe was the exception that proved the rule. Was a superb goalie for us, had a great rapport with the fans and personally I have only ever hear him say good things about City

Former Manchester City keeper Joe Hart will be offered a return to Manchester City this summer in a non-footballing capacity potentially as an ambassador Hart made 348 appearances for Manchester City winning five major trophies and is well respected at the Etihad.

Joe hart was a real stopper, which before Prp arrived was what you wanted in a keeper. Team player on pitch and off, but when pro changed the way we play football in England, Joe couldn’t comply. Just wrong place, wrong time. Wonderful servant for city, should be heralded by fans and thanked for the good times in the years before Pep.
