Best Albion keeper

[kevo]

Who would get your vote? We've had some decent ones down the years - Mark Beeney, John Keeley, Perry Digweed, Ben Roberts, Graham Moseley, Eric Steele, Peter Grummit, Joe Corrigan, Michel Kuipers, Brian Powney, Eric Gill, Bob 'Pom Pom' Whiting...

Andy Patterson!

Keeley for me all day. Beeney 2nd. Bit too young to remember Corrigan/Moseley and all those before.............

tossup between keeley and beeney although I thought Eric steele was like fdm a fantastic shot stopper .

I thought Eric steele was like fdm a fantastic shot stopper .

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.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

The first keeper I saw was Digweed, so missed Keeley (who I understand was brilliant). Given that, I would say Kuipers at his peak. I would Kuipers above Beeney TBH though it's close

 

[Mendoza]

Ben Roberts for me, he'd probably still be number 1 keeper now

 

[Simster]

Joe Corrigan was quality even if he was on his way down. Beeney and Keeley jostling for 2nd place IMO. It was good to see John Keeley on the Amex pitch last Saturday, but disappointing there was no retro chant for him as he was warming up with their reserve keeper just before the 2nd half.

I'd say Beeney just edges out Keeley. But a special mention to Kuipers for hit shot-stopping.

Keely, although I did like Beeney

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

John Lukic?

 

[Eggman]

Keeley for me. My first Albion hero.

 

[Marshy]

Keeley was immense and easily my choice.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

ben roberts is the best i've seen

 

[Gritt23]

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.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

John Lukic?

Thats it Lukic, thanks

For me it has to be Eric Gill simply because he played 280 times for us and was very reliable although in a lower division than we are in now.

 

[Daffy Duck]

For me, Bert McGonigal. Used to dive at player's feet to get the ball all the time and we'd all wince, really brave keeper and a great shot-stopper.
(Really showing my age with that one!)

And the award for drop-dead gorgeous keeper, well it just has to be Ben Roberts.

 

[Mileoakman]

Eric Gill for me. I think he still holds the record for most continuous appearances by an Albion player, (247 I think). Can't remember him ever having a bad game for us. Very reliable.
