Who has been our best keeper since 1990

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Beaney, by a mile for me.

I'll never understand why those Yorkshire twats stabbed us in the back in buying him for a steal (about £400,000 if my ailing memory serves me) and then hardly ever played him - wankers.

I know we were desperate at the time, but he was genuine quality.

It was £650,000 and the bid was accepted the day we were due to go court on a winding up order.

Howard Wilkinson SAVED us.

Now Charlton offering £50,000 for John Robinson having received £5million for Rob Lee. NOW thats stabbing us in the back.

 

[Marshy]

Keeley obviously.
f***ing brilliant he was.

Agreed. £50,000 was scandalous.

 

[Icy Gull]

Agreed. £50,000 was scandalous.

Wasn't his fee decided by a tribunal based on what we were offering him, which would have been peanuts

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Ben ROBERTS.

I always thought it was £250k.

Robinson was a prime example of a sell on clause going bad...

370 appearances later... :thud:

Ps I think the Robinson fee was £75k - not that it makes much difference.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

How can people vote KUIPERS when he has been number 2 to THREE of that list?

Plus, there is no real proof that God exists.

Yep, it was 70 or 80 from memory, for what it's worth ie not very much.

 

[Napper]

Coco for me

I know we owed something like half a million to the Inland Revenue, and we only had a few hours to find the cash.

If the story is true, Wikinson allegedly phoned the club to find out exactly how much we owed, and offered that for Mark.

It may well have pulled us out of the shite, but Beaney was worth at least double the amount that arse hole offered.

At the time, I think it would have been a fair assessment to say that he was of the top 3 keepers in the country.

What a waste of a VERY promising career, languishing in the stiffs at (we hate) Leeds.

Mark Beaney - should have been a legend

Stanley was in charge then wasn't he? In fact I think he was a bit of a hero at the time for over seeing our "rescue"

 

[Les Biehn]

Always remember liking Rust. With hindsight he was a bit rubbish, I was young and needed the money.

Greg Stanley - good bloke

 

[Storer68]

Funny but at the time we thought Leeds were potty paying that sort of money for a keeper in a mid table second division team............


But paid off the Inland Revenue who had a winding up order against us, whuich would have meant end of club

 

[Rookie]

Sir John Keeley, superb keeper

Could have been seen as a "risk" for Leeds. But Beaney was one hell of a keeper, so I still say he was a bargain.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Having not seen Keeley or Beeney, Roberts is comfortably the best of the rest of that list.

That's a huge exageration.

Very good technical keeper though, which explains why he is now Academy Goalkeeping Coach at Chelsea!
