Neville Southall

[mrb85]

Was never world class while he was here though.

There's many, myself included, who argue that he played his best football his early career at Everton. Don't forget either that he was one of the players of the tournament at the 2004 European Nations Cup tournament when he was still on our books (though, as it turned out, not for much longer).

Would be far more effective by swapping Pickford for I and the word his for mine

I agree, he still wasn't world class at 16-18 though

Maybe GOT should start a crowd funding to build a statue, shaming the club....
Although Nev himself would say ‘No thanks’

Stood behind him in the Glady St. Big fella. Seemed to take up a third of the goal. Agree! Was good early at Everton.

Best Everton keeper since WW2 by a long chalk.

Who's watching Wales v Germany on the BBC website? Nev plays a blinder, worth watching the 2nd half if you can.

I remember a good few years ago I could get BBC Wales/S4C on the telly in my bedroom,so Iwatched the Nethelands V Wales,it finished 7-1 ,without Southall it could have easily been 27-1,it sounds daft conceding that many but he was magnificent

Best goalie I would say ever! If he was English they would have knighted him.

Very true macca,he is a loose cannon, they prefer safe like Sharpie,Snods and Stuart unfortunately, the fella is an out and out winner, any statue that is built next at Goodison should be Nev,it won't be though and that is to our clubs shame,I agree with your "last world class player" comment mate, however Kanchelskis must have been mighty close

Kanchelskis mate. What a player.

Big Nev was not in Shearer;s or Wright's list of top ten GKs for the last few decades.

Premier league era. Post Nev.

Bbc1 are doing the best 10 Premiership goalies
Neville played 200 premiership games since the silly premiership started and didnt even rank in the top 10
But fools like David James did and Jens Lehmann
And Shay Given
What a farce

 

[Leylo]

Nev was and is the best ever keeper on the planet seen some very good keepers but he is the king between the sticks

Turned it off after about 3mins when Nev wasnt mentioned.
