Grummitt my personal fave but PIG very close. Best individual performance was Ben Roberts at Bradford. We won 1-0 and some of the saves he made defied belief. Best opposing keeper - Neville Southall when he was at Torquay. They beat us at Withdean and we nearly equalised late on. The header was goal bound but he seemed to extend his arm to push it round the post!
Roberts was outstanding that day. A Gordon Banks type save beneath us that was hard to see peering down from the top tier but incredible nonetheless. Completely agree about Southall that day too... Ageing, overweight yet magnificent!
As for Kuszczak, he's definitely up there as the best keeper I've seen. He's one of them that I still get complacent about when thinking it's normal that someone like him actually plays for us!
