Meet The Riot: #1 Goalkeepers

Name: Alan MANNUS
RMR Squad Number: 1
Position: GK
Signed: 24/02/09, £9,000 Wage Auction

Real-Life Bio:

Alan Mannus is a Canadian-born goalkeeper, who has made over 250 appearances for top Northern Irish side Linfield, having come through the club's youth ranks. He has also picked up three international caps for Northern Ireland.

RMR Bio:

Following the departures of Marcelo Bonan and Samir Ujkani, Alan Mannus was brought into the club at the end of season 3 as a capable understudy to first choice Jason Brown. Despite getting the #1 shirt, he's yet to make his first team debut.

Name: Antonio OJEDA (regen)
RMR Squad Number: 13
Position: GK
Signed: 28/02/09, £7,200 Wage Auction

RMR Bio:

Young Peruvian Antonio Ojeda is seen as an excellent long-term contender for the first choice goalkeeper spot. Having previously started for Villaviciosa United, Aarhus FC and FC Mancunia, he has so far only appeared for the RMR U21 side.

Name: Jason BROWN
RMR Squad Number: 19
Position: GK
Signed: 29/01/09, £74,750 End-of-Contract auction (Ze Fuehrers)

Real-Life:

Former Gillingham legend Jason Brown is a short-arse goalkeeper who makes up for his lack of height by having some of the best reflexes in the game. Currently plying his trade at Blackburn as second choice behind Paul Robinson, he has also picked up a few full international caps for Wales.

RMR Bio:

Arguably the number one target for RMR manager Law Martin from day one, Jason Brown finally joined up with the Riot after his contract at Ze Fuehrers expired at the end of season 2. Since then, he has established himself as the first name on the teamsheet, his reflexes frequently called into action due to the side's attacking tactics.
