The Fun Factory Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 He was a good, but probably not a great keeper. More of a traditional shot-stopper so it's probably one of the reasons why Pep moved him on. I think it's harsh to be that negative on his career, his trophies and caps for England speak for themselves. Personally, I don't think England has had a really top-class keeper since old Dave big hands Seaman, with James, Robinsion, Hart and Pickford just below that level. I still remember he did a really late blinding save versus us one year at Villa Park. I was in the upper holte right behind it and it was a class save. I also saw him at Shrewsbury at the start of his career with a mate who lived in Salop. He told me even then City were scouting him so fair play he has had a very good career and seems a nice fella. I believe cricket was his first love so in an alternative universe perhaps he would have been a mean fast bowler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted February 24 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24 Only seen him for England but he seemed pretty decent most of the time. Had a good career I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
