Rhubarb n Custard Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hodge for me, he had a habit of saving shots that looked certain goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto mate,I saw Rons first game for us and for me he is the best but I like Westwood very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good at forest in his younger days. I thought grummitt was excellent and he won the player of the year in 71 so i'm not the only to think that .....may have tailed off at the end but good none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in your opinion is Sheffield Wednesday's greatest goalkeeper of all time? Big Bob. But Pressman prior to his major injury was brilliant. Chris Turner also. That's 3. All better than England's number 1 who later graced our goal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Three things for me:- Best shot stopper I’ve seen was Scott Carson. Remember going to Crewe and we lost 3-0 and genuinely could have been about 7 or 8. Can thank Steve McClaren for fecking a promising career up. Best overall keeper is Westwood that I’ve seen. Feel he has more to his game than Carson did when he was with us. Thirdly, Iain Turner is Scottish to the guy from the first page. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Definitely Ron Springett for me. Not only brilliant "between the sticks" but he commanded his penalty area so well. He would catch many a cross cleanly, but also could punch clear if he felt that he was under too much of a severe challenge to catch the ball safely. The greatest in my time and I have been going to Hillsborough since 1965. (I think)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynnb Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 No prizes for guessing based on my avatar. Ron was the best by a mile. Hodge best of the later keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
