mcgregor would have been the best in the world then too. the game has moved on. 

He really wouldn't have been.

 

The main way it's moved on is that keepers have to use their feet a lot more and Goram was far better with the ball than McGregor.

 

How many current EPL keepers are better than Peter Schmeichel?

Goram is our greatest keeper, he is remembered more than the others for the number of important saves he made in BIG matches.

I do recall him making a monumental blunder against Hearts when he allowed a ball he thought was going wide into the net.

 

Klos, like Goram, was a great shot stopper although poor with the ball at his feet.

 

McGregor is an exceptional keeper but he did learn his trade from the best didn't he.

 

I was a lover of Woods and was an exceptionally good keeper but just not as good as the 3 others.

Aye, but as I always say, if der Goalie could've passed a ball, we'd never have seen him at Ibrox. He was phenomenal in one on one situations, I don't think I've ever been as confident in that situation with any other keeper.

 

They all had and have fantastic attributes, and we're lucky to have had all 4 of them.

No votin’ ‘cos Billy Ritchie’s no on the Ballot.

 

He and Niven were the ‘keepers I saw most. Unflappable, reliable, rarely spectacular, never flamboyant. Ritchie especially had tremendous positional sense and ability to anticipate the shot.

 

OK. That’s enough sulking. Goram. I refer to m’friend Bluedell’s observations above. Says a lot about McGregor that I had to think about it.

Billy was Mr reliable and a very nice man to talk to

Right now its Goram for me but if McGregor helped get us to a EL final or something, and a couple of league wins before hanging up his gloves, I'd maybe lean toward Shagger.

Someone (der Beliner) will need to do that maths but Im sure McGregor has won more trophies than Goram. Albeit cups but Im sure thats right.

 

Interesting comments on Woods - i was slightly too young to remember him but he was no.2 to Englands best ever keeper.

 

 

[Gribz 917]

Graham Roberts possibly could have been on the shortlist ?

[Scott7 6,164]

Woods was very, very good. Might put him ahead of Klos who was superb. 
 

Rangers have been lucky with the on-field custodians. Pity some of those off-field were less safe.

Who was the Danish international we had who barely got a game? Jesper C?

 

Blessed with keepers. Its a position that is possibly taken for granted. I have always liked keepers - my best mate in the 90s big brother was at Scotland U21 and Hibs - I stole his Patrick boots ? He was top drawer.
