Septic Peg Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 17 minutes ago, DT The Optimist said: Jan Muller without doubt, but as another poster said here such a short time. So Keith Welch for me. And he is still in local area. Any of the names mentioned in this thread would blow away what we currently have. It's strange that we have such average keepers at present. 2 words. Calamity James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Difficult because I'm basing this on a lot of youtube footage I've watched a rewatched many, many times, but it looks to me that from the modern-era Keith Welch should win this. Difficult with GK's as you have to ask would some of the keepers mentioned in this thread cope with the modern ball, the pass-back rule and changes to the offside law (i.e. inactive/active with play, line of sight and all that jazz). Then again, if you could catch a saturated leather ball on a cold, wet Tuesday night at Eastville away, you could catch anything! Anyway, back to Welchy he edges it over Basso for me because he oozed coolness on the ball in an era where the pass-back was a relatively novel change to the game (and many keepers had their careers ended by it - Brian Parkin for example). Basso was notorious for having feet like spanners, despite being a phenomenal influence on the fans and team spirit. Also considering Keith's current health issues, I feel he should receive the all time #1 jersey as a badge of honour from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 How on earth can you have a poll on City's best all-time XI / goalkeeper when nobody has watched City's since it was formed over 100 years ago? The poll will just reflect the demographic of the forum - i e older members will vote for people who have played scince the 50s / 60s, whilst younger ones will only vote for those who have played in the last 10-20 years.

22A Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Mike Gibson closely followed by Basso. I didn't rate Cashley when he replaced MG, but Ray developed into a good 'keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Rollason Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Much as I loved Adriano, the best keeper I've seen overall was Billy Mercer, such a shame he got so badly injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Keith Waugh was the first one I remember and really liked him when I was a kid. Since then the stand outs have to be Welch and Basso for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said on a similar thread a while back the best individual goalkeeping display Ive ever seen was Andy Leaning away at Oxford in the cup mid 80's. Great bloke in terms of his recognition of the fans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
