Richardson.

McAllister

Well it's one of them nights on here.

Richardson.

Too many to mention starting though with Hodgy. Always seemed to finish up with good goalkeepers , even at the same time .

 

[DifferentClass]

Kelly was best in my lifetime.

 

[ucandomagic]

McAllister

Spot on.

A broken leg that cost us dear.

UTB

 

[TBW57]

Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg were groovy beat goalkeepers, but obviously not in the same class as Albert Camus, the greatest absurdist footballer of all time in any position.

I'll ask Eva what she thinks.

 

[DiggerBlade]

Kelly was best in my lifetime.

We've had some great keepers but I'd put Alan Kelly at the very top just above the legendary Hodgy.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Alan kelly for me, always liked budgie, he was an entertaining fella.

 

[DifferentClass]

I'll ask Eva what she thinks.

She thinks Jose is a sexist cunt.

 

[INTERUNITED]

Alan Kelly and Mel Rees (only a few games, but what a few games).

 

[exmoor beast]

McAllister, Kelly, Rees,. Worst, John's and Baxter

 

[anglian blade]

When did Eva play for us?

 

[TomHeffernan]

Kelly for me but the best goalkeeping display I have ever witnessed from any team in my lifetime was Mel Rees against Everton away. Rees at the time was Wales's number 2 and Evertons Neville Southall Wales number 1. I remember Southall shaking his head in disbelief and clapping most of his saves that day.

 

[ourbob]

Eva never Eva played

 

[Willie Carlin]

Hodgy!!

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

For season after season of excellent performances, it has to be Hodgy.

 

[snootyfenooty]

McAllister

Yep, me too. Fuck Rodney Marsh.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Most consistent- Alan Kelly

Most man of the match performances- Mel Rees.
Only played about 10 times for us. Came from no where, no one had ever heard of him
But he was either really good or brilliant every time he played for us.
Easily the best (better than Kelly) based on performances but you can't really judge any player on 10 matches.

Most entertaining/ biggest character -John "Budgie" Burridge.
Nickname Budgie due to his non stop talking. His pre match warm ups were legendary.
He'd hang off the cross bar and walk on his hands across the penalty area. He was a bit of a gymnast and had this skill to make saves look spectacular as he'd arch his back and almost do a somersault before rolling about 5 times after he'd tipped the shot over the bar.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Well it's Alan Kelly innit.

Loved burridge absolute headcase but a decent keeper as well.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

I'd agree with Kelly, but Simon Tracey a close second for me. His first 2 seasons back in the top flight were excellent and he was a brilliant shot stopper. Kelly was the best though, also a fantastic shot stopper, and had great command of his area and rarely made mistakes.

 

[dingledog]

Hodgy. True Blades legend.

 

[MoscowBlade]

Well it's one of them nights on here.

Richardson.

Alan Hodgkinson

 

[Davalon]

In my lifetime Tracey for natural ability.

Kelly edged him on fitness and application.

 

[bigbirdblade]

I'd Say Kelly, Tracey and Rees. All had them at the same time, all had fantastic moments and all worthy of higher honours if honest. Weren't Liverpool in for Tracey at one time.

 

[wholelottarosie]

cant remember his name, warnock got him in to play burnley at turf moor the poor lad had a fuckin mare ,looked like he was going to shit himself whenever they came near our box.
