[vanderark14]

no sign of Goram or Leighton

 

which means they actually rate David james and nigel martyn higher

[Adeyboy]

It was all looking so good till you get to 13 Nigel Martyn??

 

Him better than Cech, Van der Sar and Kahn?

 

And as posted earlier - no Leighton OR Snelders?

 

List has obviously been compiled by the Tea boy when there's been no football news to report on...

[fatshaft]

no sign of Goram or Leighton

 

which means they actually rate David james and nigel martyn higher

Goram never played in England so.......

 

And LEighton's entire career for the English is summed up by being dropped for the cup final replay - ergo he was pish. Just ask any random Englishman not domiciled in Scotland during his Aberdeen years, and that is what you will get guaranteed. They are thick as f**k when it comes to football.

 

Oh, and by the way, did I say Scottish keepers are all sh*t, Jimmy Greaves said so, so it must be true.

FFS, nae British shut out king Bobby Clark? Kevin Pressman

[van basten 9]

one word. laughable.

[I Dream of Electric Sheep]

I suppose it was too late for Dean Windass to make it into the list!

[Dandyjam]

Goram never played in England so.......

 

Had a spell at Man U did he not?

 

That list is flawed beyond belief, compiled by a blinkered Englishman it seems. Having the likes of Pressman, Day, Martyn and James just proves that and is basically taking the piss.

 

The likes of Chilavert and Higuita are only in for their flamboyance, not great keepers but were eccentric so they get in. Casillas and Cech both well overrated.

 

Leighton and Goram should both of been somewhere in there.

[minijc]

Shay Given only 35th, been one of the best if not THE BEST keeper in the EPl for the last 4 years or so.

[tutankamun]

I can only assume Robbie Winters must be number 51

[tutankamun]

Bobby Clark's record has now gone to Van der Sar.

[Dynamo]

Lasted 38 years though

[OneBeboMaguire]

Where the f**k is Deano?

[minijc]

Where the f**k is Deano?

Most likely in his house.

[archiemacdougal]

FFS, nae British shut out king Bobby Clark? Kevin Pressman

 

From 40 onwards must have been struggling and just picked anyone.

[OddJob]

What an embarrasing list that is, how the hell Kevin Pressman got in that list at all is beyond belief

agree that Cech is overrated but Casillas? behave.

[florin_raducioiu]

51) John O'Shea after his performance against Spurs a few years ago.

 

WTF is Kevin Pressman in it for? Higuita only in it for the scorpion kick or whatever you call it and Chilavert for his free kicks which were class all the same

[Dandyjam]

agree that Cech is overrated but Casillas? behave.

 

Well that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. So you think Casillas merits being 10th in all time keepers list?

[archiemacdougal]

Hell of a keeper. Saved Real Madrid time and time again for the last decade.

[van basten 9]

i sure do. so where do u think he ranks?

[Dandyjam]

i sure do. so where do u think he ranks?

 

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good keeper but not as good as some make out. That top 50 keepers list is a farce so hard to know where he'd slot in, he'd be in it for sure though and ahead of a lot of the dross that's there. Somewhere in 20's perhaps.
