Was Neville Southall any good?

[tommye]

Best to ever stand between the posts for us. Doubt we'll ever have better tbh. He was that good. Very few in the game have been his equal.

Now hang on a minute, I know we're have a Southall love in right now but let's not go nuts.

certainly the best for anyone who cant remember the 60's

He was a winner in a team of winners . The greatest keeper I have ever seen

I'd say he eliminates all the pies.

There's probably a great pi/angles joke in there that I cannot be bothered figuring out.

Southall or Peter schmeichal?

With all this doom and gloom around Koeman. Lets just have a simple Poll was Neville Southall any good?

Let have a enquiry why this god of goodison is not working at the club , just having his presence about the place is enough to enspire players . Physco pat is back , get the greats back were they belong .

It's way too early for me also. Lemme get back to you.

Van Der Sar.

Off the top of my head I cant recall too many keepers that have been class over a prolonged period of time, maybe even Van Der Sar left it late to move to a European giant ?

Agree on the Nev bit, Paul, but it's a bit harsh on Ajax tbh. If you mean this century then fair enough, but they won the European Cup 3 times consecutively from 71-73. And by the time Van Der Sar moved to ManU, he'd already won the Champions League in '95 - where he played a blinder throughout. If anything his career had already peaked AT a European giant, well before he moved to ManU, winning the Champions League again in 2008 with them. Ajax fans used to chant 'Keeper of the Century' for him; but the last one.

He really is starting to resemble God-Emperor Leto Atreides II

I am aware of talks of Ajax and their great side of the 90's, what I was referring to is the fact he went on to Fulham in particular. Usually the procedure goes something like, Ajax, inter, united then Madrid. Not literally but usually world talent has a starter, then a big club in another league then moves onto the pinnacle of their career at a United, Barca, Madrid.

Personally my favourite of all time is varied between Schmeichal, Khan, Casillas (?) not sure about the porto move, but favourite has to be Buffon.
Only reason I don't put Nev in there is because I seen him at the very end of his career when I was a nipper.
