Hi ed025 you OK mate? Going back to the other day with your comparison with Alison and Clemence. Where would you rate Brucie? And probably a daft question but how highly do you rate Big Nev? I started getting took the match as a 5 year old and Clemence was a spurs player by then so I never really got to see him, I always thought Brucie had a mistake in him and didn't think he was as good as people made out but as he's an absolute rock solid soldier I wouldn't tell him that. I always respected Southall tho and at that time he was the best in the league, if not Europe.
{Ed025's Note - Big Nev was a great keeper Baz and i know im an Evertonian but he was a special talent mate, Clemence was a top top keeper for me and out of all of them was the most commanding of his penalty area, anything in the air and you could rely on him to rise like a sock eyed salmon and grab it (not like the keepers of today who punch everything), Brucie was a decent goalie but always had a mistake in him and usually in important games, a bit of a hot head as well but mind you most of them have got a screw loose it seems, im good thanks Baz and hope i find you the same my friend..

Neville Southall is a decent bloke away from football too, he’s probably spent too much time at the buffet table mind you.
{Ed025's Note - he is a big guy VV, he definitely ate all the pies mate..

He's vast these days, still do a good job for most PL teams as he fills the whole goal area!
{Ed025's Note - he has certainly let himself go Johnny. But when in his pomp nobody could hold a candle to him mate..

If you think Neville was a big bloke you should of met his brother Boo, worked a couple of sites with him, Jesus.

Neville Was the greatest keeper of all time imo, apparently learned to play with a cabbage while a binman? That was the old rumour anyway.
Wasn't he still playing at 50? Some man he is
Schmeichel second and our own ally 3rd. Only thing stopping allison surpassing both is his injury proneness.
