300 Not Out
September 28th, 2007
On a personal level I was delighted to make my 300th 1st
team appearance for Tranmere recently in the 1- 1 away
draw at Cheltenham. I was gutted not to keep a clean
sheet but feel pleased to give Chrissy an assist with
the long kick in the first half ;o)
Here's hoping for a few more.

New Goal Keeper Equipment
September 9th, 2007
Please see the shop page for my 2007/2008 season
goalkeeper wear!
Over the coming weeks I will also have a new exciting
glove product. Finger Save Gloves with removable spines
which is ideal if any of your spines snap or fracture -
you don't need to replace your gloves!
There are still a few places left at the Bromborough and
Flint courses - get in touch if you want to take part!
All the best,
John.

New Goal Keeper Courses
August 17th, 2007
We are starting a new 8 week course at Bromborough on a
Tuesday evening on 28th August 2007 and another course
in Flint on a Wednesday evening on 29th August 2007.
The cost of the course is £40 for the 8 lessons - £5 per
lesson and is open to keepers of both sexes and of all
ages.
We want all keepers to wear the same training top for
the sessions and this can be viewed on the shop page.
The charge for the sweater will be £10. We recommend you
buy a size larger than you normally wear to ensure you
get value for money by being able to wear it for longer.
Please email me in advance so I can send you out a
booking form.

Update
August 8th, 2007
Preseason
has gone very well for me individually and for the team.
We are gelling well and are really looking forward to
the season.
On a personal note would anyone have a copy of the
Millwall Away game? I cannot seem to find mine anywhere
and would love to see it again.
Please mail me at john@johnachterberg.com if you can
help.
Many thanks,
John.

Wow, a week is a long time in
Football
May 31st, 2007
I cannot describe how happy I am to have signed a 2 year
playing and coaching contract with Tranmere Rovers.
I would like to thank everyone for the support shown to
me over the last week, it means more than you could
know.
I can't wait to get back to coaching at the club and
hopefully getting to 300 games with Tranmere.
With thanks,
John.

As you will have read I have
been released from Tranmere Rovers today
May 25th, 2007
The leaving has come very quickly and I am saddened that
I cannot say Goodbye to all the fans and people who have
supported me over the 9 great years I have spent here.
Hopefully, in football our paths will cross again so
that I can show my appreciation to the best fans in the
league.
Good luck in the coming seasons and thank you all for
everything.
My best,
John.

Update
April 26th, 2007
The knee is getting better all of the time. I still wear
the brace but have now resumed training with the first
team. There is still a lot of work to do but everything
is looking and feeling good, its great to be training
again.
The new range of gloves for the 07/08 season will arrive
in the next few weeks. As soon as I have them in I will
let the winners of the "name the gloves competition"
know and arrange to send their prize out.
All the best,
John.

Update
March 19th, 2007
Recovery
on my knee injury is going well. I am working with Les
Parry and we are focusing on the cross trainer, leg and
arm weights, sit ups and he even had me running up and
down the stairs in the main stand! We are also doing a
lot of boxing and the way things are looking I could get
a part in the next Rocky film.
Finally, thank you for all the replies to my email about
names for my new glove ranges for next season. The
gloves have now gone into production and the winners
will be notified shortly. The new range will include
both roll finger and flat palm in finger save and non
finger save styles.
John.

Courses update
March 5th, 2007
The
courses are going well in Bromborough and Flint and we
still have a few places left, please contact me if you
want to be part of these. We are planning to continue
these through the close season to maintain fitness and
sharpness so that we are all ready for the 1st game of
next season!
I am also looking for (minimum) level one CRB goal
keeping coaches to help with these and future courses.
If you want to be paid for helping the next generation
of keepers please mail me at john@johnachterberg.com
Cheers,
John.
