      I'm a bit too young (even though I'm not young) to remember Clemence.  At least not at Liverpool.

      Probably very difficult to give a true assessment in the days of the backpass and of course having a brilliant set of defenders in front of him (and impassable central midfielders).

      Reina was probably our best keeper of the past 20 odd years - not just that, but like Grobbelaar, was probably a fantastic character to have at the club.

      In my lifetime it has to be Reina.

      While Clemence and others may have been better keepers, watching old clips doesn't give me the same joy and anticipation as watching a game live and not knowing the outcome.

      With that in mind my pick is Reina, closely followed by Dudek.

      Ray Clemence has to be first but lets not forget the goalie who brought us our first F.A.Cup  Tommy Lawrence.Also I must mention Elisha Scott because my old Dad reckoned he was the best ever.I will add my dad died in the 1960s and never saw Ray Clemence play for us but he did see Tommy Lawrence.

      Brucie can be the "cup keeper"

      I always thought this position might be the 'easiest' and it looks like its a three horse race.

      In the premier league era it is obviously Reina but my pick goes to Brucie.
      Amazing shot stopper, incredible agility, huge character and an excellent sweeper keeper as well.
      If I had a top three it would be:
      1) Bruce
      2) Clemence
      3) Reina.

      For those that saw Clemence play will know it's not even close. He wins it by a land slide. He had a huge present in his box and was by far the best of his generation. Not only best Liverpool goalkeeper but also one of the best in the world at his peak.

      I cant believe nobody mentions the Brucie bunggate thing. Was that real? did it not happen? if so how can a player who threw a game against the mancs still be revered?

      I didn't see enough of Clemence, but he was undoubtably the best, and then Reina - who Rodgers got rid of because of his poor distribition - for Mignolet, by far the worst decision of Rodgers time.

      Clemence, Reina (who should still be in goal), Dudek

      Grobbelaar was probably most memorable. But Clemence and Pepe were best actual keepers imo.
      Agree with Mick, not a position we've been strong in over years. A poll of worst keepers would probably get a lot more response and possible candidates.
      Hopefully that's going to change soon though...

      Nah, it'd only have one name on it. ;)

      Ray Clemence easily wins this , consistent,professional, and like someone has already said ,the older ball used to be like a flying cannonball ,if that touched the finger tips they were broken

      From older footage its no surprise to see so many going for Clem, Elisha Scott also derserves a shout from things I've heard from Kopites of a certain era.

      To be fair though my vote has to go from what I've seen in the flesh. That for me means Brucie to the present day.

      Quite simply its not close imo, Pepe hands down takes his place between the sticks.

      makes you wonder what sort of a genius got shut of him he should still be here and we might be in the top4

      Good summer topic Srs,

      Clem most probably the most consistent keeper over a long period of time and also shared the England gloves with Shilts.

      Brucie is most probably the more dynamic keeper, great shot stopper but always had a mistake in him. World class save in 89/90 season in 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

      Jersey, very much in Brucie's mold but will most probably be remembered for one match only.

      Pepe a fantastic keeper but lost form very quickly after a brilliant 4 years.

      David James most probably had his best days with other clubs.

      So Clem just edges Brucie out for me.

      That happened to me too but I think that's the plan. Maybe Cas can see it because she's staff?

      Yeh it makes sense to have the results just before we go to the right full back position or if they really want to build up the suspension then after the full eleven.

      I can't. Clemence has gone bold, but no option or number of votes. I'm presuming that's the plan MsG. 
      Thanks anyway.
