To start, we have scrutinised ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of the men with the gloves! Eventually, we narrowed it down to three fabulous 'number ones': Mildenhall (great keeper in a nearly outstanding season); McKeown (most appearances in the last 23 years and a big part of our promotion in 2016); and Coyne (do I even need to add anything?). Honourable mentions went to Crocombe, Henderson (Dean) and of course Mr Forecast! Feel free to add your vote at this link: Tweet 1707997900955853299 will appear here... I am less confident on that one. UTM

I'd have Wayne Henderson in there above Dean Henderson as honorable mentions. Dean might have gone on to be better but the impact Wayne had in helping us avoid relegation that season was much greater.

Not 21st century though. Coyne for me, with Mildenhall mentioned in dispatches.

QPR away, smash and grab 1-0 win. Don't think I've ever seen a 'keeper busier or more unbeatable. But in a weird way, Mildenhall was more enjoyable to watch as he just commanded everything so well. Coyne was a top drawer shot stopper but he was suspect on crosses, Mildenhall just more of an all rounder. For the respective levels, Mildenhall probably had better defences in front of him. Coyne was the back end of our time punching above our weight with the Handyside and Lever dominated spells replaced by the Chettle's and Raven's of the era. Anthony Williams, no?

I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

One of the reasons we had long spells in the championship. A few vital saves earn enough points to save relegation. His performance at QPR as previously mentioned when we probably should’ve lost 6-1 instead of winning 1-0 thanks to at least 6 world class saves is one I’ll be proud of saying I was there that day Lower F5
