The Finland international keeper, who signed for Rovers from Villa at the beginning of January as cover for number one Brad Friedel, will be making his first appearance at St Andrews since that infamous night back in October 2002 when he became a firm favourite with the Blues fans after his much publicised howler in the local derby between Blues and Villa, which Blues won 3-0.
He also came in for criticism for Blues second goal in the reverse fixture when Geoff Horsfield scored Blues' all-important second goal in the 2-0 win at Villa Park last March.
Give him a huge hand tonight!!
