Who is Aston Villa's greatest ever goalkeeper?

[RamboandBruno]

For 90 minutes against Leicester it was Orjan Nyland.

Word

[Matt C]

There’s some brilliant keepers in that list but Emi is on a different level to all of them.

I know he’s a nutcase but he’s our nutcase.

[ChicagoLion]

Rimmer was there to make us European and English champions.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's like saying McNaught was better than McGrath because he was there 80-82.

[algy]

Stefan Postma

that's one from behind

Strapping lad, wasn’t he?

[MorrisNielson]

The smart arse answer is Billy Clarke. He invited a friend to watch him play in 1880-81. His friend was Fred Rinder

There is an aura about Martinez that others don't have which goes beyond his ability to make saves.

[Lucky Eddie]

I'm trying to remember that moment Les Sealey completely lost his head.

At the Witton End I think.

Anyway, for me it's Emi.

[MplsVilla]

I remember John Burridge being very good just before Jimmy Rimmer arrived. I think Emi is amazing and if I'm being completely dispassionate he's probably the best. BUT my rose tinted glasses remember how great Rimmer was before and after Rotterdam and he has 2 European Cup winning medals, so he gets my vote.

I can't choose one as in my time watching Villa it's a dead heat between Bozzie and Emi.
Both absolute basket cases, which I'm guessing is why they're both bloody good goalies!

Anyway, for me it's Emi.

1992 against Sheffield Wednesday.  He basically threw one in from Nigel Jemson then ran round after George Courtney pretending  it didn’t cross the line.

Interesting that you say that.

I used to have a Wednesday-supporting co-worker who told me he was stood on the Witton End that day and there was no way that the ball was over the line. He was telling me this 25 years after the event.

Bozzie was an unbelievable shop stopper and very brave in the air. But Martinez is in a different league with the ball at his feet. We had so many average to very poor ones in between.

Emi set for his 250th Villa appearance on Saturday. Becoming the 5th GK to reach this milestone for the club.

Spink and Sims must be 2 of the others, not certain about the other 2.
