Blackburn keeper Friedel set for record books
3:03pm Saturday 10th May 2008
BRAD Friedel will make history tomorrow if he completes a full 90 minutes against Birmingham City.
The imposing American, who has been outstanding once again this term, is set to become the only ever present in four different seasons for Rovers in the top flight.
Two players - Derek Fazackerley and Walter Crook - have previously achieved a similar feat in the lower divisions, but no-one from Rovers has ever done it in the top division.
And Friedel will also equal Reg Elvy's record for the most consecutive league appearances by a Rovers goalkeeper when he makes his 152nd start against the Blues.
