The first name that sprung to mind. I remember him conceding a farcical goal against Gillingham when he fell over trying to run back to his line leaving the striker with a tap in.

Mark Walton was toilet and stroppy. Crap at coming for crosses, crap at organising his defence, crap at decision making.
I'll never forget that twattish "clearance" against Chester on Cullip's debut when he hoofed it at the arse of one of our defenders who was standing two feet in front of him and watched as the ball looped back into our onion bag. He could have booted it anywhere, the fuckwitt.

I do remember that but I also remember the next home game, was Derby I think? and I remember him being pretty quickly shifted out of the team
I remember Ross Flitney loking pretty crappy on loan but I don't think he actualy conceded many.
But Graeme Smith is hard to top, he looked like an outfield player playing in goal (and not in the Gus way, in terms of his goalkeeping, not his ball skills).

Mark Walton used to drive me mad. Absolutely tied to his goal line, and would cut out crosses even if they were across the 6 yard box.

Agreed saw Michael Poke at Northampton in the cup (last season)Bloody awful hope he never plays in the first team (with us) again.

Walton is RIGHT up there with the worst. Petterson comes close (the worst thing about him was that he had a reputation for being about as much use as a fillet steak at a vegetarian banquet, and yet still we signed him).
That's a bit harsh.
He only played 3 times (I think) and one of those matches he pulled off a stunning save, whilst wearing pink, in front of Leeds' kop.

Simon Royce was f***ing awful when on loan for us.
Unfair to put him on this thread. I went to his debut Leeds away, played AMAZING.

Worst Brighton keepers. I think Mark Ormerod has to be up there.
Whoever suggested Wayne Henderson must be some kind of moron.

A bit harsh on Ormerod. He had a cracking game at Hereford and didn't do much wrong in the run in that season.

Ormerod was always a steady reliable keeper. There's MANY worse Albion keepers than him. Wayne Henderson had no confidence whatsoever as he was up against the Michel Kuipers Fan Club both on the terrace & behind the scenes at Withdean.
One game wonders who had complete mares were Brian McKenna & Will Packham. On McKenna's only start against Middlesborough (I think?), he gave a very plausible impersonation of Flipper at every 50/50 ball he had to deal with. He shipped in four goals with ease that day. His day was completed when after picking the ball out the net & kicking it with frustration back to the pitch, he only succeeded in hitting Steve Gatting right up the arse!

Petterson made it onto Question of Sport "what happened next" for his gaff falling over when trying to back track towards goal if I remember rightly, against Gillingham or Wallsall I think... (feel free to correct, I have tried to block it from my memory).
Alan Blayney wasnt exactly s*it hot either. Yelldell is with Bayer Leverkusen now so has probably put the night of the pink jersey behind him.
Edit: I see from above it was Gillingham

Premiership please !
Sorry but the first name that sprung to my mind was Henderson. He was woeful and had a grossly inflated opinion of himself. I used to pray for his international call ups so someone else could step in.
What a shit thread to start all of the goal keepers we have had have played to the best of there ability,to come on here and knock our last line of defence is shamefull . DO ONE and fcuk off

Everyone is entitled to their opinions on players abilities (although I would put Henderson in the same camp as the likes of Sandaza, Martot, Davies and many more who received unnecessary abuse right from the start from our fans for no conceivable reason, in fact in spite of useful contributions), but what makes you say he had a grossly inflated opinion of himself?
I have been supporting the Albion since 1993 and I think (could be wrong) he was the first (and possibly only until this season) permament player of ours to win international caps. Which I liked.
