Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:12:12 I love lists that have conducted by British fans. Some of those rankings are insane.

Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Nemo on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:23:08 Neville Southall above Lev Yashin :D
That's the single worst list I've ever seen. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:29:59 *Smirk* Reading had a gk called Steve Death
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:36:05 Where did this list come from?
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: DiV on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:38:45 *Smirk* Reading had a gk called Steve Death Yep and VDS recently broke some sort of clean sheet record held by said keeper, which left the commentator to say 'he's done it, edwin van der sar has beatn death' Nigel Martyn was a good keeper but not better the David Seaman or Tim Flowers! Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:43:04 Yep and VDS recently broke some sort of clean sheet record held by said keeper, which left the commentator to say 'he's done it, edwin van der sar has beatn death' Nigel Martyn was a good keeper but not better the David Seaman or Tim Flowers! I didn't know about the Death record. No Nicky Hammond in that list as well, who can forget his legendary kicking! (the goal Adcock scored for Posh in 92/93 comes to mind!) Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: land_of_bo on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:43:23 Looking at that list surprised Dave Beasant isn't on there!
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Ironside on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:44:27 No Steve Ogrizovic?
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Nemo on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:46:51 Higuita only 45th, shocking.
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:49:18 Jan Tomaszewski kept out England in '74 and was also named the best keeper in the World Cup - he's nowhere on the list.
In recent decades the Belgians Jean-Marie Pfaff and Michel Preud'homme were both good in a great era for their nation while Ricardo Zamora, Frantisek "Cat of Prague" Planicka deserve a mention too. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 15:51:47 Steve Death was a crap keeper, we always scored past him, he had one of the biggest jaws in football...second only to Jimmy Hill!
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: adje on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:18:00 Schmeicel is the second best keeper of all time?I think not-that's a lazy list,like the one that always says O.K.Computer is the best album of all time
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:26:21 No Bart Griemink?!
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:30:03 Or Jimmy Glass.
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:32:44 Sepp Maier that low what a load of crap that is
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: juddie on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:39:11 where's Craig Farr?
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 16:39:26 Sepp Maier that low what a load of crap that is Agreed. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: axs on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 17:02:07 Didn't Alex Stepney get scored against by a goal kick?
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 17:13:05 Danny Baker's Own Goals and Gaffs had several errors by Alex Stepney.
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: axs on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 17:14:52 Danny Baker's Own Goals and Gaffs had several errors by Alex Stepney. I must have missed that classic. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 17:15:01 Digby should be #1.
The fact that he isn't means that this 'poll' has no credibility whatsoever. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 18:00:06 I must have missed that classic. That you did :D It included the very error you mentioned too. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 19:44:09 Jan Tomaszewski kept out England in '74 and was also named the best keeper in the World Cup - he's nowhere on the list. In recent decades the Belgians Jean-Marie Pfaff and Michel Preud'homme were both good in a great era for their nation while Ricardo Zamora, Frantisek "Cat of Prague" Planicka deserve a mention too. tomaszewski isnt there because of that exact reason, but yes he shhould be there along with dudek Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: chalkies_shorts on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 23:48:50 Yashin no 1 - Banks no 2. Of the English keepers both Chris Woods and Tony Coto were well underrrated. Also I'm glad someone mentioned Preud'homme - he was well good. Also Dasaev of Russia wasn't crap.
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: chalkies_shorts on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 23:51:08 Fuck me, I've just noticed Southall above Yashin. The world has gone absolutely stark raving mad. Thats like putting Bobby Howe above Zidane. I'm off to bed - this will do my swede in.

Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, February 13, 2009, 11:07:47 Where did this list come from? Daily Mail. Which says it all really.Still shocked that there is no Jim Leighton or Andy Goram in there. I still thank that the "flying potato" was one of the best in the world at his peak. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, February 13, 2009, 11:14:00 Daily Mail. Which says it all really. Still shocked that there is no Jim Leighton or Andy Goram in there. I still thank that the "flying potato" was one of the best in the world at his peak. Bandy Leighton? No chance. Goram and Chris Woods were quite similar in standard, Goram used to be excellent for Rangers. No idea what he was like for the National team. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, February 13, 2009, 14:26:07 No Francesco toldo either? or Dasayev? Christ some of those names would be on my woprst 50 keepers ever list!
Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, February 13, 2009, 16:24:01 Frank Talia? Bart Griemink?
The list is terrible. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: wokinghamred on Friday, February 13, 2009, 17:23:39 How the hell can Gary Sprake be on a list of the Greatest keepers of all time?
The greatest goalkeeeping howlers of all time, maybe !! Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Crozzer on Sunday, February 15, 2009, 01:30:53 *Smirk* Reading had a gk called Steve Death It was pronounced "Deaath". He held the league record of 1,104 minutes without conceding a goal for many years. A very good keeper. Title: Re: 50 greatest keepers of all time Post by: Crozzer on Sunday, February 15, 2009, 02:25:45 How the hell can Gary Sprake be on a list of the Greatest keepers of all time? The greatest goalkeeeping howlers of all time, maybe !! Sprake was underrated. Saw him play several times and he was as solid as Pat Jennings. |
