Originally posted by eritheagle I remember him looking really short in a friendly at QPR after we just bought him, but i think he's 6'1" which is only a couple of inches shorter than Johnstone.

That surprises me I think Wayne Hennessey was living proof height doesn’t always make you a good keeper

Im pretty sure our guys would shoot more if they thought they had a good chance of the keeper being invisible .

I’ll take it from that you obviously missed some of the statue like shockers he had for us, we’ve had a lot better between the sticks over the years that’s for sure

That being said I thought his main asset was getting in the way of things, as a big bloke, and beyond that could not identify much that would qualify him to be a GK. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Originally posted by monkey I’ll take it from that you obviously missed some of the statue like shockers he had for us, we’ve had a lot better between the sticks over the years that’s for sure But he also had some great games for us. eg At Stamford Bridge where we won 2-1 and WH was MOM followed at home by a 3-0 against Arsenal and the a 2-1 win away at Liverpool. Nine points which saved us. Not solely down to WH but you don't go to Chelsea and Liverpool with a bad keeper and win both. We have had some great keepers at Palace Rouse, Glazier, Jackson, Martyn, Jules and Guaita. Jules was terrible at first and Vicente made plenty of errors because he would not come out for crosses. The greatest of them all was John Jackson followed by Nigel Martyn. Conjunctivitis.com - A site for sore eyes.

PZ Eagle: 'The greatest of them all was John Jackson followed by Nigel Martyn' Indisputably and the bravest in the days of soggy pitches and centre-forwards given carte-blanche to knock keepers over. If you weren't around in the 40's, 50's or 60's the game was brutal compared to today.
