If my memory serves me well, Kevin Bremner conceded direct from a corner on the night that Perry Digweed lost a bollock in the South Stand.

No way perry digweed, and certainly not Jurgen Somner, was a very very good keeper.
For me it has to be Petterson.

Royce was bad, he let in 19 goals in about 5 games, 3 against Cambridge and 4 against Brentford.

Petterson just commical!

Competition over. I remember him first season at Withdean when he went walk about and forced poor Rod Thomas (Who was still a hero at that point) to handle on the line and save a goal thus getting himself dismissed.

Utter tripe! As for Rust and Ormerod i still remember them with the wide eyed innocence of a child so difficult to condemn. I seem to recall both being good on their day but their day just didn't seem to come round enough.

For those saying Ormerod, don't forget that were it not for his save late on against Hereford in 97, Reinelt's goal would have been for nowt.

That is my most vivid memory of that game, as that Hereford forward bore down on goal unchalleged I thought we were f***ed and I've no idea how good the save really was but I remember it as being awesome. Regardless of whatever else he did, to suggest he was our worst ever keeper is like suggesting, the not very good, Reinalt was our worst ever striker. Those two moments of glory lift them both above consideration as being the most rubbish in their respective positions.

The most consistently shit goalkeeper was undoubtably Rust after his return from injury, I don't think he made a single unexpected save after that and when he eventually left, I've never been so glad to see the back of an Albion player. Absolute rubbish.

I thought the Rod Thomas handball happened at Priestfield. Or did he do it twice?

For me it has to be Henderson as first second and third choice worst keeper.
I didn't trust him when we had him on loan, hated it when we signed him and, not surprisingly, the best thing he ever did was leave. Where is the big mouth now. I also put him above many of the others as he came with much bigger expectations of him. The one thing he could do well was pass to the opposition's goalie. Marvellous, albeit pointless, attribute.

Didn't Shaaban go on to be picked for Sweden's World up squad after he left us?

that game was the worst i've seen for the whole crowd just ABUSING one player

the amount of almost HATRED the crowd had for him that day was incredible


Yep I agree, thats was the only game when I've been embarressed to be called a Brighton fan. Disgusting behaviour, I was very surprised he even offered to play for the club after that game.

That is also the game why I hate Kipper so much - laughing at the final whistle due to a mistake by his competition who he should have been backing.

Going back to one of the previous posts - was it against West Brom where Perry Digweed got badly injured?
