City’s Top Five Keepers Of All Time

[smeeagain]

Coton best of the lot in my opinion

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Glad to see some appreciation for David James. He was renowned for making lots of costly blunders but for us he was generally excellent from memory.

A fantastic striker, too.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

Coton best of the lot in my opinion

Totally agree.
I got my first season ticket in 1985. He's the best I've seen in almost 40 years.

 

[KentBlue]

Or Ken Mulhearn

Whoah! A name I had long since consigned to my memory bank. Fell out with Big Mal, didn't he? Or so I heard.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Corrigan was better than Hart* (and yes, I'm one of the older fanbase!). I had a season ticket during that 1975-82 era, and "big Joe" was immense for us.


*In my opinion. Other opinions are available!

That save against Allan Clark still brings me out in goose bumps.

 

[IOWBlue]

Trautmann
Swift
Corrigan
Coton
Hart.

4 good ones but Ederson is better than Hart

In my opinion only on distribution. If Ederson would have had the amount of shots fired at him that Hart did, i reckon we would have lost more games. Close though.

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

First ever message on the board having finally signed up after reading as a guest for years. I’ve supported City since 1968. Not much of a social media individual I’m afraid but here goes….

Whilst he’s been mentioned once, I’d also like to give an honourable mention for Harry Dowd. When I was a kid my mum embroidered the names of the City players on my scarf and he was the keeper.

Dowd
Book
Pardoe
Doyle
Heslop
Oakes
Summerbee
Bell
Lee
Young
Coleman

Barely missed a home match in the fantastic 1968 and 1969 seasons. Great team. Happy memories…..

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I doubt he could hold anything. He couldn't catch his breath, that joker.

Martin Margetson was utterly horrendous! He once tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a bus..he survived because it went under him.
