[robp135]

Will do a poll for each position once a day. Vote on the best but also a discussion on these players.

First up is the Goalkeepers.

Can't see how it can be anyone other than Hugo. Reflected in the fact he was here for over a decade, during which period we were the best we have been during the PL era....

Hugo by miles

I did like Cudicini, thought he was a good keeper, but he didn’t get to play tons.

It’s Hugo by a mile.

He is probably our best keeper that could be considered a sub.

Prime Hugo, unfortunately the last couple of years weren't the same.

Definitely Hugo. I’m surprised it’s so one sided considering the number of people that used to snipe at him. But good to see how popular he remained.

Could also be cos everyone else was brick.

I don’t think everyone else was brick. Most of them were decent keepers but all have had their issues. I’m too young to remember what Thorstvedt’s were. But I remember him as goalkeeper and he seemed to have hero status as ‘Erik the Viking’.

Back pass rule completley ruined him but prior to that he was probably a top 5 keeper in the Fooball League and top 25 in the world. But that was prior to the Prem.

Gomes, Robinson and Sullivan were all good keepers at their best but for various reasons lost confidence and fell away.

Keller was a bit like C rate a Vicario. Great shot stopper but terrible distributon. We had another keeper called Espen Baardsen who came in for Walker for a period that made some incredible saves but couldn’t even take goal kicks.

Walker was actually had great distribution and good at corners, maybe even the best of the lot, but was terrible as a shot stopper at times win poor positioning.

Cudicini as I said was probably the best #2 we have had. A step up from Vorm who was a decent himself as a backup.

All those keepers & not one of them as good as Pat or Ray. Lloris wins this poll with ease
