Brilliant keeper for us, it’s a strange one why he wasn’t an England regular, I always thought he was miles better than David Seaman.
Shilton obviously went on far too long and was a bit of an embarrassment by 1990. Then after that I remember there being a few decent English keepers that were trying to tie down the regular spot - Flowers, Beasant, Pressman, Seaman and I guess Coton.
Coton was the best out of that bunch for me. Seaman was playing behind probably the best defence in English football over the last 50 years at Arsenal.
I recently saw a documentary on Euro 96 where Pearce and others were saying Seaman was “the best goalie in the world” at the time. I don’t remember too many people saying that at the time.
