Saints Goalies

Having now signed Gazzaniga our Goalkeeping department looks a bit different from last few seasons.

 

I was thinking about our goalkeepers and trying to remember who played and when – this is the best I can do from memory (in a kind of chronological order) – loads of omissions I’m sure:

 

Who else played?

 

Davis

Bialkowski

Miller

Smith

Keller

Niemi

Jones

Taylor

Grobbelaar

Recently, Poke, Wright, Blayney, Bevan. Further back since I've been following Saints, Forsyth, Martin, Turner, Gurr, MacLaren, Davie, Middleton, Montgomery, Wells, Gennoe, Sperring, Kite, Granger, Nixon, Burridge, Andrews, Moss, Flahavan

Dave Beasant (saw him at thorpe park last week) what a groupie I am.

 

Or stalker! :scared:

 

Matej Rondos! (Ok I know he didn't play for us but I have a keen game of FM07 going and he's made the step up to sub keeper in the first team.)

top 3 keepeers I Have seen play for Saints..

 

1. Peter Shilton

2. Gerry Gurr

3. Anti Niemi

 

Was brilliant in his first season and then fell to pieces in his second.

 

I've often wondered why - but I guess confidence is a major component for a GK and he seemed to lose his completely.

 

I wouldn't put him above Niemi though.

Who was the last gk to emerge from the youth team to play regularly in the 1st team

 

The last one to have a run in the side was probably Steve Middleton in the mid 1970's. He may even have had a call up to England U21's, but was displaced by Ian Turner.

 

Grainger and Blayney were after him but played 2 and 1 game(s).

 

Been supporting Saints for over 40 years and I don't remember one. Grainger and Kite were the closest, as far as I remember.

 

Kite was a £50,000 buy from Bristol Rovers.
