I allways felt Bill Glazier was one of the best,certainly Jacko Jackson,Burridge and now Speroni, but who was the Master ijn the Palace goal ?

You've left Nigel Martyn out of that list.

But for me Jacko comes top simply because he was playing against the best of his era without the luxury of a top notch defence in front of him.

But have to say Martyn & Speroni are up there

George Wood. For an 87 year old, he was pretty nifty.

 


Just when I thought that I was out...........they pull me back in

Martyn all day long, A top class shotstopper and the rest of his game was decent too.

At 30 I only really remember Martyn. I liked NAsh but he was not as good. Kirally was class, if only for his JD Sport chav stylr joggin bottoms.

Speroni is well up there

Bill Glazier was excellent and might have lasted a lot longer at the Palace,rather than make the move to Coventry when he did.
He didn't want to leave but a certain senior player at the club during that time thought that Jackson was better.Bill thought that this guy had a strong bond with the management and rightly or wrongly his spell came to an abrupt end.
Having said that Jacko was brilliant!!

For how Speroni battled back from being dropped after 5 games in the prem season, watched Gabor be a fans favourite, for how he came back and has earned us 10-12 points last couple of seasons and at a time of people like Torres deserting a club that has done well by him he has shown such loyalty to us !

Julian for me or George Wood as he was in goal the day I was mascot in 1984

It's got to be Julian really. He is a superb shot-stopper and usually brilliant at claiming crosses. Has been a bit patchy with that this season but I think that's to do with the back 4. He also has a great kick. Number one from my time at Palace (going back to 1977).

Nige was a master shot-stopper, but a bit iffy at claiming crosses from what I remember. Also his kicks were abysmal - he was in the era where they changed from being able to pass back to keepers to not. Hence him and many others could not really deal with the back pass.

Gabor was class but he never really spoke English. Bad communication with the lads.

Carlo was OK but not a top keeper.

Digby was undone by the 9-0.

The Vassen lad that we loaned from Blues was superb, but not up to Julian's standards. Same applies to Thomas Myhre or whatever he was called. Great loan signing but not the same class.

John Burridge was a good bloke - but mad and not the best goalie. He used to stick his gum on the goal post before kick off, then get it back at half time!

I can't comment on Jacko or Glazer!

Bunny.
