Of those I've seen, Leighton.

He was a total liability and taking that bold step of binning him was a key moment on the way to success for Frogger. Most managers would have taken the easy decision, kept him in and possibly lost the replay.

A little positivity - by no means the best keeper but by far my favourite (sorry, Edwin) is the late, great Mad Les Sealey. Love the guy. If you get a chance, I recommend his rescued autobiography.

What a man. You'd never put him at the top ability wise but his sheer presence and personality made up for it and spread confidence throughout the team. Brilliant guy.

A United supporting mate of mine gave him absolutely no credit for that because he hated him so much.

Onana or Paddy Roche. Probably Onana.

Carroll gets a bad rep for some reason. Seem to remember him playing a couple of games vs Arsenal at the height of the rivalry and didn't let us down. Not a chance I'd be confident of Onana doing the same

I think Carroll gets a bad rep because people immediately think of that £#%&! up versus Spurs. But you’re right, he was generally pretty solid as far as I can remember.

Onana for me. I’ve never seen anyone flap so much when a ball goes into the box. He’s shit. His shot-stopping is below average and that’s being extremely generous.

I feel sorry for him because he seems a decent guy.

Certainly a better keeper for Utd than the likes of Bosnich, PIG, Taibi, Foster...and probably quite a few more.

Milan at home is my worst memory of him.
