Who was/is the best Villa goalie ever?

[OldUser]

Jimbo Rimbo, and we got rid too soon. Bozzie was great too. We've had some right cack goalies though over the years.

i voted for Bosnich, he was the best keeper i ever seen in my eyes, i can remember the 93/94 season he was just awesome, everybody was saying Schmeichel was the best keeper but at the end of the season one football magazine had a vote for the best keeper of the season and Bosnich won it.

For me it was Bozzie, I remember the yellow squared asics shirt with muller on it, my all time favourite goalie jersey. Also his antics at Spurs, quite amusing!!

Jimmy Rimmer no debate

Jimmy  Rimmer by a country mile. All those voting for Bosnich have clearly wiped his dreadful kicking from their memory banks.

...or are too young to remember anything pre-Spink, like me.

And seriously - who voted for Enckelman?

[dave.woodhall]

Rimmer for consistency, Bosnich a close second for one-offs. Some of his displays were amazing.

Who voted for Enckelman?

Where's Sam Hardy on the list? Our most venerated goalkeeper, he is the only proper Villa goalie in the league's 100 legends list.

What the Hell is Schmeichel doing on the list? He dropped a clanger every week when he played for us!

Wot? No Colin Withers, he was better than Yashin :-

Johnny Dunne should be there as well.

Jake Findlay wasn't bad either. =;

" We all agree, Withers is better than Yashin.

  Anderson is better than Eusebio, and City are in for a thrashing "

Anyone old enough to remember !

You're right and he had that one spell, I can't remember the season, when he saved two pens at Tottenham (1 re-taken?), after saving one at Villa Park the Saturday before. At that point he was seriously unbeatable. The natural talent was better than anything I've seen at Villa. But, I always had my doubs about how good he could have become because of his suspect kicking. The better teams you play will punish them.
