Can there be any doubt now that Kuszczak is the greatest goalkeeper BHAFC have ever had ?

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

I did and PIG is better by some margin.

yep think so

 

[GoingUp]

Nicky Rust?

he was the keeper during my early seagulls days, back when i was 6,7,8 or 9yrs old or whatever, i remember me and mate where standing behind the goal during a pre match warm up, i think he was doing some shooting exercise, i shouted out 'hey nicky do you want a chewing gum?' and he said yeah in abit or words to that effect, but he never took one haha

they where really tough times for the albion, i think nicky owns a building firm last i heard?

 

[Deleted member 2719]

He has been our rock.

I have heard a song sung about him for near on two seasons but only a handful join in, i don't get it.

We need to get behind the big Pole, he deserves it.

 

[severnside gull]

That is interesting because WA was complaining about that in the first half on the radio today. Incidentally who do you rate above him.

Beeney, Steele, Grummitt, Moseley are all up there........

I know the modern ball makes it harder to judge the flight but, good as he is as a shot stopper, Kusz invites problems by being static on his line too often. Hard fast balls in then okay but he should be more commanding against floated crosses.

My personal favourite keeper although nowhere near the best was Brisn Powney who despite lack of stature was exceptional in the air.......different ball and totally different game though

 

[shabba]

Joe Corrigan was the best for me, the 2-2 draw away to Blackburn in his one and only season with us was the best performance of any Albion keeper ever!

 

[severnside gull]

Good thread - how fortunate have we been wi th great keepers over rhe years?!

 

[withdeanwombat]

Hands up those who remember Dave Hollins ?

All the rest on the bench.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Best keeper since I started going in 1982. Only Keeley and Roberts come close for me.

The best single performance I've seen, was John Sullivan at Leicester, in the 'pride in the shirt' game.

 

[portslade seagull]

I'd say almunia is also a very very good keeper at this level. Kuszczak is by far our best in my life time.

Did you see his little mishap today ..hehe

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Grummitt my personal fave but PIG very close. Best individual performance was Ben Roberts at Bradford. We won 1-0 and some of the saves he made defied belief. Best opposing keeper - Neville Southall when he was at Torquay. They beat us at Withdean and we nearly equalised late on. The header was goal bound but he seemed to extend his arm to push it round the post!

 

[Mackenzie]

Yes.

 

[portslade seagull]

The PIG is up with the best and is playing below his level

 

[worthingseagull123]

I can't remember a better keeper than Kuszczak at the Albion.
May he be with us for many more years.

Beeney. Simple basis, his sale saved our club.

Thanks Howard Wilkinson for paying more than he was worth, knowing full well the good it did for us.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Can't really compare him with the other great Albion keepers in the kicking stakes but he doesn't command his area like a Corrigan or a Grummit. As a shot stopper though he really is up there.

Up until now I always thought Corrigan was the best we ever had,but Kooshy is certainly taking over that mantle now....all praise the Kooch

Doesn't make him a better keeper though does it

Tom Kuszczak is the best keeper I've known at the Albion, and that's going back to the early 80s.

Stand out player so far this season for me. Please please please Mr Contract man, sign him for another year or two.

Corrigan was good but well past his best.

Graham Moseley was the regular keeper at the highest level. Everyone else was below that

 

[Publius Ovidius]

indeed... I would pick Graham Moseley in his prime - all day long.

This

 

[catfish]

Sorry but I disagree. PIG is easily the best since Grummitt but he's not better. In my humble opinion.

 

[Invicta]

He's been great for us - should have been man of match vs Blackburn a couple of weeks back.

Of previous keepers loved Moseley and Keeley and Roberts was looking like a great keeper for us, shame injury robbed him of the chance to really establish himself as a club great.

agree with this.......Koosh was top notch last night , his save from holt near the end was brilliant.
