Worst Goalkeeper

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

simon fuckin tracey

I came on here just to say his name. For many a week after that Derby We had to bare the "what time is it"? "five past Tracey" Joke.

Keith McCrae was up there with the best of them (or worst of them)

Also Dibble getting loads of abuse from the City fans behind the goal when we were 2 down v Walsall away. He gave it back to us then got injured when taking a goal kick and got taken off. Nigel Gleghorn went in goal and did better in 70 minutes than Dibble did in his City career. Match ended 3-3 from memory

I was at that game behind the goal, Dibble let a soft second in and we gave him some stick and he was snarling back which wound everybody up even more. When he got carried off everyone was convinced he'd done it deliberately because we'd given him some stick. I'm sure for some reason we had ten men, turned it around to lead 3-2 then in typical City fashion let it slip.

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.

What?

He got done by Bright on every through ball as he followed through into Nixon, until he got up and punched him in retaliation and was sent off. We lost 3-1 if memory serves.

Tommy Wright

Completely immobile. Masked his ineptitude by shouting in a booming voice.

Yes that was my recollection as well. He slammed the ball down to take the goal kick after giving us the stick back and then got the mysterious injury after taking it.

Was at that game, the pair of them Bright and Wright set out to wind Eric up and it worked, However, Eric did not throw a punch, he collected the ball and pushed it in his face as he ran into him.

In my opinion he definitely thought, " Fuck you lot I'll teach you to give me stick.," and feigned injury to leave us in the lurch. I detested the prick after that. He did us a favour as Gleghorn played better than he did.

Eike Dibble

 

[asahartford1]

keith macrae (showing my age) and I'm sure many will disagree, but I thought Kasper was vastly over rated

How they scouted Mcrae I never understood.

 

[inconnu]

Pickford is shite, but he also makes world class saves. The same couldn't be said for Bravo, who had that run of games where he let in every shot on goal. He seemed to be able to dive in place, leaving about two yards of goal open either side.

Great at penalty shoot outs though.

Pickford looks like a world-beater when you compare him to Kepa Arrizabalaga.

 

[HelloCity]

Watched the 94/95 season review the other day and Dibble conceded some really poor goals. One was against United at the near post from a shot from outside the box which was hardly a screamer.

 

[SomeMightSay]

Joe Hart says Bravo. Perry Suckling was proper shite tho.

He made his name on one good game, the 1988 league cup final against Arsenal when he had a great game and saved a penalty. This earned him a move to us, it was all pretty average after that.

Yes, you're right it was a push, inward in the main stand , 15yo all the way down from Carlisle on my own for the first time.

Typical City, think Redmond went in goals but not 100% now. lol

 

[BufordUSABlue]

ike immel.

so thats the thread done with.

Close thread!

 

[Stelea]

Considering Immel was a former German international he was shite. He saved nothing and seemed to let in everything at him. The one that sticks in my mind was the goal by Giggs at Maine Road where we were on for a 2-2 until Giggs hit a speculative effort and Immel never even moved.
The Immel situation was made even worse that Ball binned off Coton for him.

 

[Whether or not]

I know it is a slight variation on the question, but the worst keepers performance for us in an individual game had to be Bravo at Everton in Peps first season. He was like a magician letting the ball, any ball, pass through his body. Four shots on target, four goals. To be balanced, he improved a bit.

 

[chaddblue]

Seaman was all over the place.

Seaman was all over the box

 

[Irlamblue]

Kasper ...
and he is still the worst keeper in the prem..

 

[Out on blue 6]

Nigel Gleghorn
