I’ve mused on this loads who was the best keeper since I started going in 1977/8 still can’t decide between Batchy & Danny Coyne.

He never played for England but he could definitely swear for this country 😂

That was a fine save by him, but on the flip side he didn't do all that well for the equaliser did he

Quoted from Blundellite


When I was mascot early 80's batch missed his first game in something like 2-300 consecutive matches. Who was the reserve goaly? Been at club for years but never got a game normally because batch played every week!



that would have been Peter Grotier. Played about 10 games in 5 seasons or so at the club.

Batch was the GK when I first started watching Town.

He always seemed quite small for a keeper by today's standards.

As per post above - him and Coyne are the two stand out keepers for me... although maybe nostalgia is playing its part there.

There were 2 other goalkeepers in my time of watching Town who took goal kicks with one foot and drop kick  with the other foot.



Alan Barnett  1958,  Excellent goalkeeper.

Rhys Wilmot  1992, who we fortunately recouped the fee we paid, by selling him to Crystal Palace.

You beat me to it with Alan Barnett. I remember seeing him as a young boy thinking how good he was. He always had a bit of banter with the crowd behind the goal and nearly always asked which horse won a certain race.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
