Who is Aston Villa's greatest ever goalkeeper?

[Villa in Denmark]

Neither has Martinez.

Also a good point.

The word greatest is down to interpretation, so you can argue the point either way.
For me “Villas greatest “ has to be the Goalkeeper that contributed to our greatest success.

I sort of get that. Our two best centre backs aren’t the 82 centre backs though.

It’s definitely Martinez for me, if we’re talking best goalkeeper.

There wasn't one goalkeeper that contributed to our greatest success.

Indeed - Jimmy Whitehouse and Tom Wilkes.

Maybe my age but surprised not more mentions for Spink due to his longevity. Thought he was really consistent.

Emi is still my pick mind

I will love Nigel Spink until the day I die. Not only for his legendary performance on the evening of 26th May 1982, but for his loyalty over many years from that high, to the lows of the mid 1980s. He is, and will always be one of my all time favourite  Villa players. However, the question posed pertained to Villa's greatest ever goalkeeper, not favourite ever goalkeeper. In my lifetime, from the days of Colin Withers and John Dunn, Emi Martinez is the greatest goalkeeper I've seen in our shirt. He has everything. It's unbelievable knowing he spent ten years as an Arsenal reserve.
