I think Kevin Keelan began his career with us. I'm not sure did he ever make the first team and I can't be arsed to look it up but he went on to have a good career with Norwich. And as PGW mentioned, Geoff Crudgington played one or two games for us but never really made the grade. I think he went on to play league football for someone else but again, can't be sure.

I remember Geoff Crudgington being Plymouth's keeper in the 1979/80 Panini album.

Michael Oakes is the only keeper i can recall coming through the ranks He played 50 odd games

I saw Kevin Keelan for the reserves on my first ever visit to Villa Park. I'd love to know the line up of that team and the opposition. My guess is that it was Norwich and I imagined BFR and/or his brother played.

Yep, forgot about him.

Michael Oakes was a decent keeper and probably the best of the ones mentioned previously who had come through the youth system at Villa.
I think he went to Wolves after us.

Yes, Oakesy was a good back-up 'keeper for Bosnich. When Bozzie was injured, he had a long run in the side but lost confidence when we hit a bad run, with defenders injured and we couldn't keep a clean sheet -a bit like now!!

Crudgington became a good goalkeeper in the lower leagues and is still a bit of a legend in Plymouth and Crewe where he made a career over 600 appearances. He later coached at Argyle and left as recently as 2011.
