This snow is starting to get really on my tits now, instead of falling from the sky it is now falling from the roof. Nearly took m my head off early.
 
On a brighter note i think State Benefit could be a potential novice chaser to follow this season, i hope he gets off to a good start in the 1.10 at Fontwell.

I suppose that means it's only a matter of time before we get it <grr> Hate the snow.

Let us know when it starts falling off your tits.
 
He was one hell of a keeper though. Just a thought, who has been the best No 1 in the last 20 or 30 years?

Globally? Difficult, you'll probably get half a dozen different answers. Certainly not Grobbelaar IMHO. Don't particularly like the guy, but you'd have to put Ollie Kahn* right up there? Have to study last 30-years a bit first.

*Mad as a hatter on the pitch, but now, in retirement, a calm, composed, and highly intelligent football moderator on German TV. A real Jekyll and Hyde character. :emoticon-0112-wonde
 
Buffon's decent but i always though Pagliuca before him was a better keeper. Cassilas is very good but he doesn't really get noticed much - doesn't need to in those teams I s'pose <laugh> Always thought Seaman never quite got the credit he deserved either.
 
surely the old brazilian keeper taffarel has to be up there with the best keepers. he was fantastic in his day and very very few stupid "keeper" moments.
 
Guys, Peter Schmiechel was unbelievable.


At the minute the man they call San Iker is head and shoulders above the rest imho :D
 
cyc, me too. 'The black spider' - so called because people thought he had 8 arms <laugh>


saved over 150 penalties <yikes>

Very goo indeed but ee was boring though - the best thing about the old Brazillian teams was they always had a really bad comedy keeper - then they started cheating and brought in someone good.
 
Been reading about a bloke called Lev Yashin. From what I read, some consider him the greatest of all time. Long time ago though.

That's about 8 goalies already! Yashin was probably the greatest of them all, but outside your 30-year period (played exclusively for Moscow Dynamo between 1950 and 1970). Seppy Maier was a world class keeper (and a world class clown too) but not the best ever I would say. Same era as Gordon Banks who was a terrific keeper also (remember that incredible save against Pele in a Mexico World Cup?).
 
Dino Zoff is another held in high regard. Another before my time though <ok>
