Elmore Posted 21 July, 2012 Posted 21 July, 2012 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
Elmore Posted 21 July, 2012 Author Posted 21 July, 2012 http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/archive.htm Yeah thanks. Not really the point. But thanks.
Elmore Posted 21 July, 2012 Author Posted 21 July, 2012 http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/archive.htm Having said that - how could I have forgotten Dave Beasant?!

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

SaintChrispy Posted 21 July, 2012 Posted 21 July, 2012 Dave Beasant (saw him at thorpe park last week) what a groupie I am.
SNSUN Posted 21 July, 2012 Posted 21 July, 2012 Dave Beasant (saw him at thorpe park last week) what a groupie I am. Or stalker! 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.)

Badger Posted 21 July, 2012 Posted 21 July, 2012 top 3 keepeers I Have seen play for Saints.. 1. Peter Shilton 2. Gerry Gurr 3. Anti Niemi A highly rated prospect as I recall
Trader Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 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.
paulwantsapint Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 Who was the last gk to emerge from the youth team to play regularly in the 1st team
krissyboy31 Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 Who was the last gk to emerge from the youth team to play regularly in the 1st teamBeen supporting Saints for over 40 years and I don't remember one. Grainger and Kite were the closest, as far as I remember.
krissyboy31 Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 wasn't moss from our youth team? Nope. Got him from Bournemouth.
Wade Garrett Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 Granger now has a career in the docks, 'helping out' seamen.
Badger Posted 22 July, 2012 Posted 22 July, 2012 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.
