We’re going through a little bit of a renaissance with this man right now.
I wonder how long it’s going to be until we start talking about him in ‘cult hero’ status, that is of course assuming that there aren’t already a small portion of the fan base that are already doing so. And even though Lee Camp has had one of the better weeks of his time at St Andrew’s, that hasn’t stopped a few fans from having a sly dig at him, although that’s nothing new for him.
After putting in a great display during the F.A Cup replay with Coventry City, and earning the awe of the fan base, he earned some plaudits for his attacking prowess during Friday night’s win over Bristol City.
It was his long ball up towards Lukas Jutkiewicz that gave the centre-forward his opportunity to get on the scoresheet and wrap the game up. So when the club put up a tweet praising the keeper for his efforts this past week, there was probably meant to be a flurry of praise for him. But what came instead was quite the opposite:

Will Camp stay in goal for the rest of the season now?
Yes
No
All light-hearted fun I’m sure, nothing malicious intended.
