Purely subjective of course.

IMO the top two are two of the greatest keepers of all time.

1, Jennings

2, Banks

3, Shilton

4, Clemence

5, Seaman

Hard to argue with any of those. Possibly Neville Southall for Seaman.

Funny enough I found it difficult to pick between Seaman and Southall myself.

I thought Shilton overrated. very flat footed. Jacko was better. Joe Corrigan was better than either Clemence or Seaman.

I used to consider our John Jackson good enough for England but he wasn't considered because we weren't a 1st division side.

Palace have had some great keepers in the past but keeping was easier back then because the heavier ball didn't move about so much.

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Difficult and if you go back further England had a constant supply of top goalies.

They got knocked about and a maximum wage of £20 per week.

Bert Williams - Wolves and England.

Colin McDonald - Burnley and England.

Ron Springett - Sheff Wed and England.

Reg Matthews - Coventry and England.

Must be plenty more, can't think of a palace one although Nigel Martyn may have played a few times.

We’ve had some good ‘uns haven’t we? Ted Ditchburn and Phil Parkes come to mind.
Also some who didn’t quite make the top grade - Mervyn Day, Peter Grummitt, etc.
