    A conversation with my mates tonight turned into a good session of Vorm praising! But in your opinion who is the best keeper you have seen? I went with Neville Southall! That man was phenomenal!

    Vorm aside my favourite but open to debate(although he was voted number 1 in the world in his prime).. Neville Southall

    Gordon banks, lehman,Bahrtez,vorm but Oliver Kahns my favourite.
    Best save everish was Higuitas forward flip and cleared with his heels against engerland http://youtu.be/hvylCDpGPuk

    That was an ace save - He was sacked after that and never played for his country again, apparently.

    Banks for me. The World Cup save v Brazil (1970?) still one of the best ever.

    Higuita's save was extraordinary but so was he. He played for Colombia for 4 years after the Redknapp save. 25 career goals ( a free kick specialist) and his nickname? El Loco.

    Just like Daiswan. <laugh>

    [EDIT: Just came upon this. Hart successfully psyched out Sinclair last week. Don't do it like this. http://bit.ly/vVZLdB ]

    There was a charity match last year (or year before?) where Nev played in goal and was awesome. Obviously the shooting wasn't great (think it was celebs vs legends sorta match) and he was showing off a bit, but he was saving everything acrobatically and probably still better than half the keepers in the prem.

    Banks was superb. Vorm is very good but not as strong in the air under pressure as most of the keepers mentioned above.

    Back in the day Bob Wilson was a tidy keeper as was Jennings. Peter "the cat" Bonetti was good too, but his one claim to disfame was the quarter final defeat in 1970 World Cup to Germany. Our Tony Millington on his day was unbeatable - remember the free kick he saved against Best for N. Ireland at the Vetch in 1970 - Wales won 1-0 on a Ron Rees goal. Then there's that Jim Furnell of Arsenal in '68 - made the save of his life off Ivor. All keepers can have moments of brilliance but few can keep it going game in game out.

    I think Bruce Grobbelaar should be on this, he dropped some clangers but on the whole I think he was great, he won everything with Liverpool in their golden era of the 80s

    Well I think he deserves a mention, and as he was cleared of match fixing in a court of law, and until you have been found guilty you are innocent.
