The Worst England Goalkeepers

[Dressinggown]

We spent a couple of decades with goalkeepers during the 70s

[clive40golf]

Not sure I understand. England started the 70’s with Banks then moved on to Shilton and Clemence. Probably three of the best keepers in the world during that time

a drunken thread.

[Dressinggown]

Sorry, the rest of my post has gone into the ether.

And I can't be arsed to type any more of my usual diatribes.

[boatshed bill]

Don't worry about it.
i'll give you Joe Corrigan.

a couple of decades within a single decade is groundhog dayian.

Dayian henley is a linebacker not a goalkeeper or a groundhog.

Peter Bonetti, "The Cat", didn't really cover himself in glory whilst guardian of the English net.

He was, however, very well respected in the Chelsea rank and file.

Not entirely sure what the thread is asking but I'll name Rob Greene, Paul Robinson, David James and Tim Flowers.

I'd swap David James out for Scott Carson, otherwise decent.

[Woodleyclaret]

Worst mistake had to be Shilton not punching Maradona and the ball in the cheating bxxxxxx handball "goal" at the World Cup

[Oshkoshclaret]

Shilton was class at his best but outstayed his welcome by at least 25 caps

Scott Carson. Thanks.

I knew there was one from the same period as Greene that I was missing but I just couldn't remember the name and didn't want to cheat by googling it

[ŽižkovClaret]

Rob Green getting the Hendricks treatment i see?

Yep. I wasn't sure and guessed

Maybe I need to start using Google more

[ChrisG]

Scott Carson. Thanks.

The only thing I remember about Carson is him fumbling one in on a very rainy night against Croatia that prevented us qualifying for Euro 2008. It was the same night that coined the Wally with the Brolly phrase

Ian Walker

Rob Green chucked one in at the World Cup in SA in 2010.

[JimmyRobbo]

Gary Bailey.

I thought he was past it at Mexico 86, so it seems ridiculous that he still kept the shirt at Italia 90 at the age of 40. Although, to be fair to Bobby Robson there wasn’t many good alternatives. Chris Woods was the only one really.

Loads listed above.

I will add David Seaman, had lead in his boots, could never get off the ground.

[Longford Claret]

Alex Stepney.

Seaman was class in Euro 96, however the was gone by the time Ronaldinho chipped him in the World Cup

Seaman, and Shilton, kept in the side far too long.

[ChrisG]

Seaman, and Shilton, kept in the side far too long.

Main issue with Seaman was that his successors are pretty much all from the list above.

The natural choice of Nigel Martyn was knocking on by that point too.

I think even Richard Wright played a few games didn't he?

People slate Pickford, but he's been consistently decent for England.

[FCBurnley]

Tony Waiters !!!!!

[Darnhill Claret]

Tony Waiters for us shouldn't be compared to when he played for England.

[Darnhill Claret]

One of my favourite keepers Gordon West played 3 times for England.
