The real question is whether or not Jim Leighton and Chris Turner managed to get in the list just ahead or just behind Paddy Roach. I didn't see much of the much maligned Mr. Roach, but Jim and Chris were £#%&!ing shite. Loved Les Sealey btw , 3rd in the list of best tbh. I was gutted when Schmeichel arrived as it meant Les would no longer be 1st choice Gary Walsh was a good 'un prior to the injury that kept him out for Hargreaves like lengths of time. |

Re: Van Der Sar
I echo the sentiments of most here: Makes it look easy, very understated, easily the second best goalkeeper we've had in decades, should've signed him earlier, hope he stays on longer. He doesn't look or play his age. His reflexes are still top drawer and his mind doesn't drift (WBA was just one of those things.
I like the guy too. Very intelligent, quiet and a calming influence. I reckon we'd have at least one more CL and title with him in the side 5 years earlier. Top, top goalkeeper and he'll be hellishly difficult to replace. Top Red. |

Having watched at least 40 of his 66 games, he basically played for them as he plays for United, with maybe just a few more errors. Juve missed out on consecutive Serie A titles by a combined 3 points in his two seasons. Juve knew they had something special when Buffon started to develop, VDS was the first (and last) foreigner to ever play in goal for them, Fulham offered 7 million, which is what Chelsea paid for Cech and more than Liverpool paid for Reina, so it was an easy decision for Juve to sell. |

They paid £32m for him. He was bought to directly replace VDS, who was then moved on to Fulham. |
