Random goalkeepers you remember

[VP89]

Always liked Rustu Recber (or Recber Rustu, I forget which way it is).

He was so so good in internationals, spent all his career in Turkey pretty much. Sadly was in hospital toward end of last month with a critical bout of covid

Michael Konsel. Grey haired Austrian keeper that Roma signed despite he was about 36 at the time. He was arguably the best keeper in Serie A that year, but had faded and been sold by the end of the next.

 

[thepolice123]

Marcos, the Brazilian goalkeeper at WC2002.

I remember he being annoying as feck in the England match. Can't remember exactly what he did.

 

[Tom Cato]

Jorge Campos - Mexican goalkeeper who always seemed to be wearing really colorful jerseys. I liked that as a kid.

He has one of my first true favorite players! players both as goalkeeper and striker

 

[Loon]

Nigel Spink.

 

[LARulz]

Jose Moreira

 

[LoSpritz]

Just got reminded of the existence of Roy Carroll thanks to this

I have generally only good memories of Kharine. I was in my mid-teens at the time he was a regular and had a season ticket back then.

Almost all the goalies we have had after him were better (De Goey, Cudicini, Cech, Courtois) and also the only clips that ever get shown of Kharine are the 4-0 FA Cup final or Cantona's lob that hit the bar at Stamford Bridge (I was at that game and was one of the fans applauding the effort!). I think that kinda influences how people see him but I don't remember ever thinking he was bad.

Cheers Duffer!

 

[Revaulx]

Gary Walsh, Chris Turner, Chris woods, Tony Cotton, Hans Seagers, Les Sealey, Steve Ogrosivic

Great to see him mentioned.

I thought he was better than Gary Bailey, despite his hair not being as nice. His (lack of) height was the only thing that prevented him being a really top keeper.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Ian Walker

 

[Zlatattack]

Mart Poom - Derby county legend
Shaka Hislop - He's the first black keeper i saw
Jerzy Dudek - he did the wobbly knees thing
Richard Wright - thought he was going to be the next David Seaman

 

[GhastlyHun]

Frank Rost
Tim Wiese (worth googling him)

 

[pawanraj]

Fabian Assman because it is hard to forget a name like that.

 

[The Corinthian]

Cult hero...Volkan Demirel. Always helps when the GK is a bit of a nutter as well.

Spoiler: Volkan Demirel

 

[kyofusho]

Árni Gautur Arason

 

[Red Stone]

Roberto Abbondanzieri. Another one with a cracker of a name.

 

[RikRuud]

Flavio Roma

 

[Bondi77]

Glenn Hoddle

 

[GueRed]

VINNY JONES

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Pegguy Arphexad - the ultimate example of random 90's goalie.

 

[Jeppers7]

Yeah just too short. Always felt Bailly could’ve been really great...but wasn’t.

That was last year, thankfully he's alright and recovered.

[DatIrishFella]

Ruud Hesp for Barcelona and Carlos Kameni from Espanyol (who we were linked with post Barthez)

 

[groovyalbert]

Igor Akinfeev

Still think of him as being the next big thing/a natural successor for many big clubs.

I also used to think Paraguay had a lethal weapon in their locker with Chilavert in goal when I was a kid.

Roy Carrol still plays semi-pro football and got lobbed by a 40 yard header the other weekend.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Adam Federici. I remember him having an absolute stormer against us for Reading.

He still plays. Currently keeping goal for MacArthur in the A-League

 

[JinnerJamie]

Kasey Keller Spurs keeper made a few good saves vs RVN in a game against us. I’m sure the commentator that day kept bigging up this battle until RVN put the winning goal past him from the penalty spot. Never heard of him after that game.

 

[Jericho]

John O'Shea

 

[Mike Smalling]

FM legend Sergio Asenjo!

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Best comment so far haha!

[Redcy]

Weird one is that a school classmate was called Alex corrigan which happened to coincide with Alec Williams and Joe Corrigan being city keepers

 

[Ali Dia]

Gary Walsh pretty certain he started in the Nou Camp when we got a 4-0 mauling.

The old foreigner rule that used to screw us over in the mid 90s
