Best Albion keeper

[Gregory2Smith1]

john phillips only played one game for us,but what a game!

Definitely Graham Moseley for me. Loved Eric Steele’s Groucho but wasn’t nicknamed Dracula for nothing (interestingly he’s keeper coach at United which may explain De Gea’s problems with crosses!). Digweed was good but Corrigan well past his best & I thought he was very disappointing & really glad when he left.

 

[Zawn Kellys]

Graham Moseley for me too.

When I think of Albion goalkeepers, Eric Gill ias always the first name that comes to mind.

 

[Varndean VI Form College]

Mark Ormerod (after a plethora of others better)

 

[Seagull Steve]

Graham Moseley 1st, and John Keeley 2nd.

 

[Skaville]

Beeney, but only just.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Graham Moseley for me too.

And for me. Quality stopper, great in the air, safe pair of hands. Very few howlers and good distribution. Top notch.

Big Joe; he was just immense.

I would watch him and just marvel at how good he must have been at his peak, and how amazing it must have been for Forest and Liverpool fans watching Shilton and Clemence evry week.

Famously used to warm down after games at the Albion with a PINT of wine (allegedly).

Our NEXT keeper will be the best in a long time, I betcha.

Slightly off topic does anyone remember the name of the goal keeper (very weel known chap) who played for Leeds in the 2-2 draw at the Goldstone back in late eighties who jumped up to touch the cross bar and got his feet caught in the net, I cant thi nk of his name and its doing my head in

Mervyn Day?

It was Mervyn Day. The same game as Chapman scored THAT own goal in the same net.

And my favourite keeper? Between Keeley & Beeney with a mention for Wayne Henderson.

Geoff Sidebottom wasn't bad !

No love for Mark Walton then........

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

My first keeper was Rust, so never saw Beeney. Still, it's comfortably Ben Roberts for me - far too good for us, really - would never have been playing in League One if he'd been fit.

I like Peter Grummitt who was very consistent but overall I would go for Eric Steele for his reactions and the rapport that he had with the crowd.

I can never remember Grummitt making a mistake - interesting that a lot of people are saying Moseley because I can remember him making quite a few! (was it the last minute against Birmingham at the Goldstone when he let in an equaliser, when the ball just went straight through his hands...?). Quality keeper on his day, but in the Moseley v Steele debate, I always went for Steele.

 

[HantsSeagull]

He would get my vote too, brilliant reactions. Always prefered him to Moseley. Met the geezer once, too - lovely fella. And none of the others did Groucho Marx impersonations in front of the North Stand...

Unfortunately his days were numbered by Mullery after he had that bust-up with Gary Williams at Old Trafford.

This.
