| Best ever Town Goalkeepers? 15:45 - Nov 1 with 4802 views | ChampionsofInnsbruck |
Seeing as both Hladky and Bart are two of the top performing Championship keepers so far this season, who are our best keepers ever? Roy Bailey, Paul Cooper, Laurie Sivell, Craig Forrest and Richard Wright are the ones that spring to mind. Honourable mentions Bartosz Białkowski, Clive Baker, and Kelvin Davis.
Anyone I have missed? Dean Gerken was okay when called on, Supple and Price never lived up to Davis, Andy Marshall was a good keeper everywhere else but Ipswich. We have a lot of guys on loan or for a season in recent years. In terms of poorest Will Norris and Scott Loach were two more recent ones I remember being pretty bad.

Fullop?
Wasn't here long, Dark Lord signing but was one of the few decent additions he made
Edit though not comparable to Cooper, Forres or Wright IMO [Post edited 1 Nov 2023 15:51]

In terms of short-term keepers, Asmir Begovic was very, very good. And Mike Pollitt, of course. |  | | |

Wrights former understudy that Keane replaced him with a decade after he was released, that's a story in itself. I recall Wright got injured against Cardiff and ALB had to play and he stayed on, whereas poor Wrighty got released, although did manage a cameo under Jewell. | | | |

Well you have brought him up, so there now isn't a best keepers thread without him! So why was David the best? ;) | | | |

I think honourable mentions should also go to Ken Hancock and Neil Alexander. |  |

Neil Alexander.
I think Davis deserves a tad more than an honourable mention. |  |

If that was the case then Shane Supple would have been mentioned.
Ah.
OK, then Lewis Price would have been included.
Oh búgger... | |

Seems strange that Paul Cooper and Clive Baker have been mentioned as among the greatest Town keepers but neither would become professional keepers now. Too short. |  | | |

Sereni was very good. Should appear in any list of our top keepers. His quality clouded by the relegation season, at times his own attitude and the way he was managed. | | | |

Was just about to mention Begovic. It was clear at the time he was way too good for us. |  | | |

For me it's between Cooper, Wright and Alexander, with a shout out to Davis.
My vote goes to Cooper - he keeper during our most successful period, a brilliant penalty saver and very steady even if not spectacular. Unfortunate not to make the England squad but Shilton and Clements were undeniably better. |  |

Great shot-saver. Weak in all other aspects of the goalkeeping art. | | | |

What do you mean by best ever goalkeeper? Are you judging purely on their ability as a goalkeeper? Or are you looking at it more holistically. If the latter then it has to be

I remember Neil Alexander doing very well too, seemed to save quite a few penalties. |  | | |
