He did have a rather shaky start but in the scheme of things it was really quite brief and hardly impacts on his worth as a Rangers keeper.

Agreed, I picked him as well! Just ahead of Chris Woods.

On the same note Bobby Shearer taking over from the injured Billy Ritchie at Tynecastle after about eleven minutes, no subs of course. He conceded a goal in the second half but the Famous scored three. What a game, what a night in the days when the Hearts had taken over from the Hibs as Rangers’ main challengers

..... and what a captain.

Regency bias is always present in these discussions.

What's the opposite of recency bias? Dementia?

Anyway, I think I probably suffer from it ... "keepers were always better in my day"

He took over twice in goal against Hearts

Surely it should be based on people's votes rather than mentions. If everyone mentions Ally Maxwell as being crap then he could potentially win it, even if nobody feels that he was anywhere near the best keeper.

It will be going forward. 

 

GK is a simple vote, so I thought I'd tally up the mentions - even Sorensen's Daughter-in-law. 

[Gribz 850]

The position where we have had class in abundance with keepers who could walk into most teams. 

 

Goram wins it. He was one of the best in the world at one point in 90s. 

 

No votes for Snelders? 😃
