Worst Goalkeeper

Martyn Margetson probably the worst Keeper City have had .
Perry Suckling wasn't much better .
Quite liked Eric Nixon .

Later on Nigel moved to Australia and played some national league football here and then played local league football I had the pleasure of playing against him a few times and he was quite a good keeper. I always doubted that he had time with City but I was wrong next time I have a beer with him I will have to mention this post.

Oh I remember him,he was a nice young man and yes he emigrated to Ozz, he lived near me, totally devoted to football and Match of the day Next time you’re having a beer, mention this post too, must have been nearly 50 yrs ago I was Clarkson then.
 
I was friends with the late Ron Healy and his family in Newall Green Wythenshawe and remember the Chelsea game. Maybe being a local lad the pressure was just too much.

Just out of interest but how did you manage to dig out a 5 year old thread, for your first and only post at that?

Edit: in fact the post you quote is getting on for 8 years old and the poster hasn't posted for 4 years (although he's still around by the looks).
 
I think it’s all about context, as most of our goalkeepers enjoyed a good professional career, (if not necessarily at City.)
The obvious poor performer would be Margetson, as he wasn’t even good enough when we were shite. However, you could make a strong argument that Dibble and Weaver were the weakest of the goalkeepers who played regularly. In fact Weaver’s City career was positively Negredoesque.

Personally, I always thought that David James had more ability than most, but lacked the desire to prove himself the best.
 
Margetson was the worst I have seen play for us. We got hammered by Everton 5-2 at home early in his career and he was subbed at half time with us 3-0 down. His stats say he was 6 foot but he looked shorter than that. Shots went through and under him he was terrible. Incredibly I think he is England's goalkeeping coach, I have no idea who thought this was a good idea if true.

I know he’s not City but the words, Worst Goalkeeper cannot be uttered without being accompanied by the words, Jordan Pickford..
City wise it’s Immel by a mile...!

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.
 
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

He swung me that season.

I hated the **** when he played in goal for Ipswich in a full members cup game. I remember him taking the ball behind the goal line and walking up and down the touchline goading Oldfield I think? And the ref still gave a Goal kick.

What about the next big thing keeper in Kevin Stuhr Ellegard? No confidence and looked scared to death whenever he played

He was like a dear in the headlights for that Leicester game with Dickov taking the piss out of him.
