Almost an impossible choice. Got into an argument with a Blackburn fan at my wedding because at that moment I said I would choose VDS over Schmeichel. But on another day I'd easily pick Schmeichel.

Nothing between them in terms of ability overall imo.

Suppose I'd have to go with Schmeichel. He was a key part of the team when we started the period of domination, and he capped his Man United carerr off by winning the treble.

Or, brexit is being held at gunpoint.

Tick tock
what sort of gun is it? is it an accurate and reliable gun or is it one that will just take out everything, but is prone to jamming?

PS by an absolute mile.

Best keeper i've seen play anywhere never mind at United.

VdS a comfortable 2nd with DdG 3rd I suppose.

And if DdG had been playing when PS was he'd have been a plumber now...the physicality of 80s and early 90s football would have killed him.

Despite him snubbing me in St Tropez a few years back it has to Pete on the basis that he would have looked slightly better had he played in the '08 team whereas VDS would have looked a bit worse in the '99 team. Also VDS stunk the place out at Juve around that time, he said himself that he became a much better keeper out there. The best thing outcome for us would have been Schmeichel sticking it out a few more years or Kahn/Richard Wright.

Hope the posters who had DDG as the best of the three on previous threads are ok.

Khan wasn't far behind PS but we'd never have got him.

Wright wasn't an upgrade on what we actually got imo.

Antti Niemi would have been decent for us.

Ferguson tried to sign Kahn in 2003, and then refused to forgive him when he got snubbed.

Good interview about it here:

If we got Van Der Sar and Sol Campbell in 1999 we wouldve retained the European Cup

Voted for VdS over Schmikes, but it was basically stick a random pin in it stuff. Both absolutely immense

Well well, i've never seen that before and didn't realise Fergie had made a genuine effort.

He'd have been a great signing.

Shot stopper it has to be Dave. I know we all hate him atm but his highlight reel would be an absolute joke. Ridiculous saves.

Voted VDS, don’t remember much of Schmeichel, was 11 when he left, obviously a great keeper but not gonna pretend I was watching him week in week out

Top keeper = best.
Favourite = which one you like the most, irrespective of talent or performances.

Agreed that the lack of consistency between these polls has been v. disappointing.

Fag paper between them imo, so I picked the one that wasn’t a massive #@&%!.

I can only remember 2 things about Barthez . One was the thing he did when trying to psych Dicanio out and the other was him stopping off to have a chat and a Gauloise with his bird Linda Evangalista at that bar next to Central St and the Quaker's building in town when he first signed

Can't knock his record though as he won everything in Europe for club and country with a world cup as the cherry on top

Would defo win poll for the best driver out of all utd ex players

Love Eddie tbh, would rather have him involved with the club now than Schmeichel. No, would rather have Eddie once the Glazers have been £#%&!ed off.
