Punks No Deid Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Unlike the Hibs we've been truly blessed over the years... I've seen some crackers in my 40 years but who is your fave no. 1 (doesn't have to be the best goalie we've had ..just ur favourite) eg. Cruikie for the 70's (can't remember before then) Broughy, Ray Dunlop? Henry (had his faults but a true fave) Antti Niemi, Craig Gordon (toss up who was better in my book) Marion Kello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Henry Smith by quite some distance. Â Followed by big Giles. Â Then probobly Craig Gordon. Â With a short Vlad interlude of Kello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAYEL Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nearly impossible to choose my favourite, Niemi just shades Rousett for me. Just   Impossible to choose between Cruicky , Henry , Big Gilles , Neimi and Craigy  All heros of mine when playing for the JT's   Probably felt worse when Neimi left  How lucky have we been with goalkeepers   This week it is Jim Cruickshanks       Edit  Just remembered Henrys testimonial at the Tartan Club with the strippers   Henry it is    .

jambos are go! Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Gordon Marshall deserves a mention and was a tower of strength. Won't split Roussett, Neimi or Gordon. Henry Smith's record of appearances and clean sheets is superb  At a push Gordon because I'll always be convinced that his huge reputation and presence meant that Gretna bottled the penalty shoot out in the Cup Final. .

Coburg Hearts Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 JImmy Brown was my first favourite but Craig Gordon has to be tops. Great to see him coming through to be top class and a Hearts man through and through. Â Me too. He seemed like a cat to my young eyes. I think Jimmy Watters came next, then another of my favourites, Willie Duff. Gordon Marshall was a great servant, followed by all the goalies mentioned above. Guess what? I'd find it impossible to choose a favourite, impossible. We have possibly been better served with goalkeepers since the war than any other team in Britain.

Â I think nostalgia is clouding your judgement. Â He did us a real turn in 1995/96 but I personally thought he was the weak link of that excellent 1997/98 side, that said he played well in the final so he did his part. Not for a second saying he wasn't a good goalkeeper but, for me, he isn't in the same bracket I'd place either Gordon or Niemi in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
