Who is the greatest ever prem goalie

This thread has got me thinging about some of the great keepers I've had the pleasure of watching over the years, Shilts, Ray Clements, Joe Corrigan, Phil Parkes, Paul Cooper, Nev Southall, Jim Leighton, Gary Bailey, Flowers, Budgie Burridge, Niemi to name but a few.

I loved listening to Shilts baracking his defence constantly during a match, never giving them a moments peace. It was a tactic I used when playing, however it only really served to p!ss off my defence (I use the terms 'playing' and 'defence' in the loosest possible forms).

Something else he would do is during quiet moments of a match was to run the width of the penalty area, and bend to touch the line, before running back the other way, he would often run 4 or 5 width at a time, sometimes I'm sure he ran further than MLT :D. This was something else I would do, but I was usually knackered after 1-and-a half widths ;).

I've gone all whimsical & dewy eyed now so it's time to go and dig out all my old goalie gloves.
