Worst Goalkeeper

[BoyBlue_1985]

Would you class David James as the worst goalie

I have no idea why he wanted to be a striker on the final day against middlesbrough

Its like having joe hart as a striker (to be honest he can play like one with that scissors kick in training)

What always makes me laugh is that if Mr Blobby had scored the penalty we would probably thought that was a master stroke

Margeret Margeretson was completely useless but didn't get to play too many times.
Andy Dibble for me, was only good when he threw a strop because he'd dropped a clanger.
I hated David James but he was quite good.
David Seaman was past it before he arrived.
Eike Immel played a part in my favourite, Tony Coton's departure.

I remember going to a end of season game against Everton (early-mid nineties, I think) We lost 5-2, and he was in goal. By fuck, he was shite!

He was only in goal for the first half and replaced at half time by Dibble!!!

Paul Cooper and Mike Stowell weren't much better. My word the praise we used to get for always having top class keepers, is suddenly starting to look like a myth !.

Beat me to it mate.... looked (and played) like a 90 year old pensioner that was in the crowd, and bravely volunteered his services after leaning that Eric Nixon's car had broken down on the way to the ground. (6 times)

Simon Tracey gets a, not so honourable, mention, from me too

My thought too.
Dibble thought he was a top keeper, but Gleghorn looked more secure when he went in against Walsall!

Eric Nixon was the first goalkeeper I ever saw, roll the ball out of his area, to get more distance when kicking it out and my dad was particularly scathing when he saw him do it. He also had the worst game I think I've seen, from a keeper at Maine Road v Crystal Palace, when Bright and Wright tortured us.

Oh and while i think of it, does anybody else but me remember a lad called Nigel Lowndes, turning out for us in a game against Derby Co reserves in the midd 70's, at Maine Road?. (Paul Power's Rezzie Debut)

We absolutely battered them but lost 4-1... I swear Derby only crossed the halfway line 4 times in the entire 90 minutes, but Lowndes would panic & run a mile everytime the ball came within 30 yards of him.... Im sure he was allergic to leather.

On reflection, Lowndes has got to be the worst i ever saw (Sincere appologies to Mr Siddall)

P.S Paul scored his debut goal for us that day, too, if i remember rightly.

Seaman was dog shite.
