Ray Clemence was head and shoulders above for consistency and over a long term. He would have had many more international caps if that fat w**ker Peter Shilton hadn't been noshing off Bobby Robson. What a pair of creepy cu*ts they were.
Clem was like a third centre half, a brilliant shot stopper, and his distribution was top drawer. One season, cant remember which without looking it up, he conceded just 4 goals at Anfield. Yeah, not in a match, not in a calander month, not just F A Cup rounds. The whole F***ing season !
Tommy Lawrence before him was brilliant one minute, but prone to a clanger the next.
Grobbelarr who replaced Clem was probably the most athletic keeper I've ever seen, but didn't outshine clem for me.
Pepe another with brilliant distribution and probably top 2 or 3 in his time, but for me, nothing surpasses Ray Clemence.
Perhaps its my age and a bit of nostalgia creeping in, but my all time greatest keeper ever.
