Parkes, Seaman, Kenny?

[qblockpete]

Speaking to some old school fans last night and they reckon Kenny is Number 3 of keepers. Not old enough to see someone like Springett, but do you think Kenny s up there with the top keepers we've had?

[Ric-Roc]

Can't forget Peter Hucker or Jan Stejskal.

Kenny is looking superb though. Top 2 in this division no doubt.

[singingranger]

Start of the season I said he's prob our best keeper since spunky!

I got blasted for that!

Lo g way to go though!

[G.T.P]

the title of this thread is very correct imo.

We've had so many great keepers over the years...
Kenny is a great shot stopper and Stejskal was great in the air but for all round ability i think Seaman and Parkes were the best... Don't forget John Burridge who was great entertainment before and during the matches and of course Chris woods..

As a kid i played for many teams in goal and Phil Parks was my boyhood hero so if i had to choose one it would be him but the others weren't far behind..

Parks
Seaman
Kenny
Stejskal
Woods
Burridge

Phil Parkes is the yardstick, he proved it at the highest level.

[HammersmithR]

What about Lee Harper and Juergen Sommer???

[Ric-Roc]

Paul Barron?

Nicky Johns?

[rangers74]

Bankole!!!!

[loftboy]

Nick Culkin!
Seaman couldn't save anything hit at him from outside the area,especially if John Barnes was shooting.

[Ric-Roc]

Bankole!!!!

Who actually signed him?

[stan_bowles]

Parkes was my hero as a lad so will always be my number 1 keeper.

Loved Seaman and Sommer though.

Chris Day

Fraser Digby should also get a mention and im v.surprised Ludek Miklosko hasnt had a stand named after him.

Kenny is nowhere near as good as Stejskal, nor is likely to be.

Remember Stejskal did it consistently for four seasons in the top 8 positions in the top flight. Half our problem when we were relegated was that we never replaced him properly. Kenny has played 15 league games for us and whilst has displayed excellent shot stopping ability, still prone to going walkabout on crosses and he is still a red card waiting to happen in 1 on 1's.

Thompson passed on the chance to sign a young Kasey Keller from Millwall and bought Sommer instead. Shocking decision - just to save £250k.

And for all the talk about Bankole - he played a grand total of 44 minutes for the R's. Will never be as shocking a keeper as Derek Richardson or Nicky Johns.

Bit of perspective please!
