    Still Taylor for me, but if Bull sticks around then I fully expect to change that in the next couple of years.

    I'm going to abstain I'm afraid. I can remember singing my heart out to "One Martin Taylor, there's only one Martin Taylor, one Martin Tay-ay-lor, there's only one Martin Tay-ay-lor."

    Taylor was a legend, Bull is becoming one.

    A little before more time but I think if you set up a poll including all Wycombe fans up to my dad's age (roughly 60) that John Maskell would be winning any poll for best keeper! As the majority of us lot on here would be too young for his playing time then its an interesting choice!

    Between the two of these based on shot stopping and ability to produce a save then I think Taylor. That was the reason he was at a top flight team for so long. His best performance for me was Oldham away when we drew 2-2 in 99-00. Us on the supporters coach were stuck on the motorway in traffic and got to the game after what should have been 20 minutes in. It was actually only 10 mins in because of any injury but we had still missed two goals and Jason Cousins being sent off!

    Taylor's performance was truly world class, such that we even took the lead again before a late equalizer. His defining moment was saving a Steve Whitehall half volley, diving from the near post to pretty much reach the post the other side to tip the ball away!

    That said Taylor did have a weakness, being his ability to deal with crosses, which is a weakness that I do not think Bull has. I think only time will tell who will be the best as I do not think there is a genuine area of weakness in Bull's game. For now I have to go with Taylor but ask me again in 2-3 years and you may get a different answer!

    JOHN GRANVILLE! Hands like shovels, could chuck the ball over the half way line and played the FA Trophy final with a broken finger. No contest.

    In this debate, id go with Taylor. Great keeper, great shotstopper and, although Essandoh, Rhino always get a mention when people talk about our FA Cup run, it was Taylor who saved all those penalties.

    Must mention Paul Hyde too. Plucked from obsurity by O'Neil, our no.1 for our promotion to the league and treated DISGRACEFULLY by Alan Smith and not given the send off he deserved.
