I suppose one difference between the present day and the past is the balls. So much lighter these days, they go faster when hit and move all over the place as well. I wonder how the keepers of old would have dealt with them? You didn't used to see keepers get beaten by 30 yard shorts very often. Pretty commonplace these days.

I maintain that even the best keepers have always made bad errors. At the other end of the scale, you have those like Williams and Forecast who occasionally made good saves! Possibly.

If he thinks Henderson is going to be his number one, he needs to play him in every international running up to the tournament. Pickford is starting to look a liability. He constantly looks too hyped up, something Hart was starting to exhibit towards the end of his reign in goal.

Did Forecast ever make a save from a shot on goal? I'd need to see video proof! I don't even recall him saving shots in the warm up, was sat behind the little practice goal before kick off against Crewe seeing him constantly get beat by every shot thinking "oh no..."

Chris Woods was better than David Seaman?!


With TRRFC on this one. As an ex goalkeeper, I thought seaman was overrated. A good keeper but not world class. Woods had 2 or 3 years being superb. Underrated imo. He was then forced to be a keeper behind a terrible England defence that made him look average. He wasn’t.

Is there any video evidence of just how bad Forecast was in goal for Town? I've never seen the famous 'chip'...

Norwich were my second team at the time and saw woods a fair few times. Have to say he was an absolutely outstanding keeper and imho is much underrated

Maybe him throwing one in in the cup final is clouding my judgement

(I can only really remember him playing for Wednesday so past his peak. I thought Seaman was ace for a decade though. The Brazil and Macedonia mistakes were when he was about 53)

The 250 yard lob that beat him was in 1995 in the Cup Winners Cup Final. He repeated the identical trick in the 2002 WC against Brazil.

I remember the latter because the TV camera was positioned right along the line of travel of the ball and you could see he was way out of position as Ronaldinho hit the ball and we just sat there amazed as it went over Seaman. It is really odd because he is a big bloke even for a keeper but his command of the box in the air seemed to depend more on Tony Adams than on his own height.

That Nayim goal was a complete freak! How many keepers are near their line when the ball's in that position?

And he commanded the box alright when Adams was in the nick    (you don't concede 18 goals all season with a keeper who can't catch)
