sleaves Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 From the keepers I've seen is the fairest way to judge, Bosnich was brilliant, also had a fantastic defence whilst at the club. Number 2 on my list is Big Braddy F, great keeper after a few mediocre/bad keepers. Third on my list is a hard one, think Guzan would be a cert if he had the back 4 others have had, so I'm going with him as he's proved to be good in a poor side. Worst 3 for me are DJ, can't forgive him for FA Cup final mistake. Peter Shitmichael, just came to us and didn't do much. And thirdly, Gabor Kiraly, what a bell he looked in his trackky bottoms. Stefan Postma was the overall worst due to off the field issues. THAT VIDEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 theres been so many bad keepers at villa its tough to keep count in short, bosnich was our last decent keeper Troll, surely? I'd say keeper is the one area we've consistently picked well in since the 80's bar one or two stand out piles of shite. they have had the most practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silafou's_besi_mate Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) My top 3 are 1) Spink - when I was 12 I wrote to Billy McNeil and asked if I could go to BMH and watch the legend train. At the time, I was the school goalie and thought I had a chance. I got a day off school to meet him (the only Villa goalie to do so) and he was awesome. Then I stopped growing and lost my place in the school team. 2) Guzan - Re-tweeted a tweet that is sent him when I played 5-a-side at Villa Park to raise money for Stan Petrov when he first became ill. First goal keeper in a few years that commands his box and I don't worry when the opposite get in the box. Great at savings penalties 3) Bosnich - banged Sophie Anderton, snorted coke and is awesome on Aussie TV now (have a look on YouTube). He was also pretty good between the sticks for us. My bottom 3 are: 1) Enkleman - Just utter gash. Worked in bham after the infamous game and never had so much abuse in my life from small Heath fans. 2). Kevin Poole - bit harsh, but was never impressed and never had confidence in him on the limited times he has played for us. 3) Kiraley - those jogging bottoms, need I say anymore? Haven't included Rimmer as never saw him play as I was too young and my mum took me to see Empire strikes back instead of going with my dad to Villa Park.

benireduk Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Top 3 1) Bosnich - Best shot stopper I've seen for us 2) Spink - Legend for 'that' performance 3) Friedel - Mr consistent. Can't remember too many mistakes Worst 3 1) Kiraly - not fit to wear the shirt 2) Enkelman - the error against sha completely ruined him 3) Oakes - just didn't rate him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Bosnich Guzan James cup final aside as I remember the dread when heard we signed him. Worse is Carson Kiraly Stuart Taylor ( i remember one fo his 1st games at City was horrible with him Samuel and think Ridgewell at the back having nightmares) others I think Sorensen is most underrated in these lists as he had some good games for Villa and Enckleman was actually decent until the derby calamity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'll always remember Taylor coming in for Carson, who was sent off, against united and saving a penalty the first he did. That's the only game I can remember him playing for us and he had a really good game. But he was a reserve keeper and as such I think he was quite good. I'd say that a keeper like Enckelman would've been decent as a backup keeper, but the fact that he for a season or so was our first choice made him worse.

Stevo985 Posted January 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2014 People who have put Schmeichel in the "best" category, are you just putting him there because of how good he was BEFORE he played for us? Because he certainly wasn't all that when he did play for us. Putting him in the top 3 is insulting to the other keepers we've had, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) but he scored a goal, more than some of our strikers have Edited January 28, 2014 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
