City’s Top Five Keepers Of All Time

More than a goalkeeper. Manchester City legend and the first one I remember and whilst he was City's number 1 I became a budding keeper myself. Went to couple of camps with him running it as a teenager. The guy was pure class and a great role model. Always a place in my heart if not top 5.
And a perfect gentleman as well.

We saw him outside Etihad on our way to our seats, before one of the games last season. He was happy to chat with us, and was very pleasant.
 
1, BERT TRAUTMENT - purely based on his back story and what he had to go through plus playing and breaking his neck in an FA Cup Final,

2, EDERSON - I have picked him as my second choice based on obviously the medals he has won but also how I feel he revolutionised the game where keepers are now seen to be more involved in the game where they are pretty much playing as a sweeper nowadays

3, JOE HART - picked Joe at 3rd place as I feel that he was a big part of that team that helped us get over the line to win are first league title since 68, Although kompany was the captain I feel Joe was just as influential in that dressing room during that title winning season plus helping us win the FA Cup the year prior

4, JOE CORRIGAN - I picked corrigan at 4th place as I know how much he is held in high regard off the older section of are fan base, he had over 400 appearances who was a fine goalkeeper who helped the club achieve European and domestic success,

5, DAVID JAMES - this is a controversial one I know, I wanted to pick Nicky weaver but for me I picked David James purely because I think he was a better keeper than Nicky, the 2 years David James was with us I thought he was superb, made some absolute brilliant saves and gave some excellent performances, he was a big part as to why the team at the time managed to keep are premier league status,
BERT TRAUTMENT: Is this how we’re all finally cured?
 
Goalkeeping has changed, like much else, in the Pep era, so I'm only going by the ones before this revolutionary came along.
So:
1. Trautmann (far ahead in first place)

2. Swift
3. Corrigan.
4. Hart.
5. Alex Williams. or maybe Carlo Nash for his cool name alone.
