Best keeper in the last 30 years?

Postby Nick » Sun Aug 13, 2017 10:30 am

Surely Shay given ?

On goals on Sunday now. We had a good period of decent keepers. David James ended up quite good too.

I think Hart could be considered.

Bit too young to realllyy remember coton but we were shit and went down ?

I think given was better than Hart, potentially when I started disliking Hart 1) his comments on loan which lead to 2) given being pushed out.

Given now is probably still better than bravo

Coton at the time should have been England's No.1 but was overlooked for Chris Woods & David Seaman - we had our highest finishes for many a year with him in the side.

Forgive his later transgressions as he arguably was the best keeper we've had in last 30 years.

Defo not given, he is average masked as great but has huge faults to his game, when playing for ireland hes better than at club level.

For me Hart, James, Scheimichal, Weaver in that order. I was too young to appreciate coton but i dont remeber him been shit.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's multiple golden glove winner Joe Hart but hopefully will be Ederson.

David James was outstanding for us in the time he spent here. He's my pick.

The inconsistency of all these keepers makes it easier to pick season by season. Given was the only one I remember never been awful for a prolonged period.
Tracking back is overrated.

Quinn really is a mystery.
Scored plenty of goals. Was well liked even saved a penalty yet he seems to dispise us now.

Seriously? Watch given back.used to pull world class saves every game. More than Hart and bravo did combined..

Schmixhael only did a year didn't he ?

James, agreed.

Weaver yes but at a lower level (obviously can't forget how important he was for where we are now) class lad too.
