Neville Southall and other goalkeepers

[peteblue]

The secret to being a decent keeper is to make good saves look easy. Not to make easy saves look hard, showboat, and confuse the issue. Pickford would fall into the latter category I would suggest. That is of course if he actually saves it at all lol
Neville was the best keeper for the Toffees in living memory but Westy was my own particular favourite.

tbh West did a bit of showboating.....

He was better than starjump Timmy ....ok for two seasons....

Remember Dai Davies.... *shudders.....

He was not as bad as posters make out on here - David Lawson when we could have signed Shilton for less at that time ......

Class showboating though. Not like the current keeper who tends to dive over, under, around the ball, acting daft, gurning and is showboating under false pretences lol
Westy invented the art of accurate throw from goalkeeper to the outfield in the 60s. If he was still with us he could show Pickford how to do it. His tendency to kick the ball dead is well documented.
