Ross Daniel Flitney (born 1 June 1984 in Hitchin, England) is an English football goalkeeper, currently playing for Grays Athletic, after being released from League Two club Barnet.
He started as a youth player at Arsenal before moving to Fulham in 2003 where he made a number of appearances on the Fulham bench in the Premiership as cover for senior keepers such as Edwin van der Sar and Mark Crossley, but never made the first team. He did however have two loan spells with Brighton & Hove Albion[1] and a further loan spell with Doncaster Rovers where he gained league experience. In March 2005 he joined Isthmian League side Yeading on loan.[2] He was released by Fulham in May 2005, joining Barnet the following month.[3]
On October 26, 2005, he became the recipient of the quickest red card in the history of Old Trafford. In a League Cup match for Barnet against Manchester United, he was sent off for handling the ball outside his penalty area, only 80 seconds into the game. It was his first touch in the match, and Barnet went on to lose 4-1.[4] The red card was later rescinded on appeal.[5] During the 2005/06 season, he lost his place to Lee Harrison who had rejoined Barnet as a player/coach in the summer. He was told he could leave Barnet in November 2006,[6] but was finally released at the end of the season,[7] joining Grays Athletic in June 2007.[8]
