CorkerSWFC Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 If i had to pick a United keeper it would be Alan Kelly without a shadow, great keeper he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2 blade Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Seriously id have to go paddy kenny i know he is a fat judas now but ive seen him play world class on several occasions and that wasnt an exageration i mean WORLD CLASS. Should have played at a much higher level and next season we will all see his true potential i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kenny has been an inspiration for QPR since he went there, I've seen him play a few times on sky last season and he made some fantastic and some very important saves, he was a big part in QPR's promotion to the premiership without a doubt.

I'd take Alan Kelly over Paddy Kenny every time - the steady head that gave the defence reassurance, rather than panicking if Paddy was about to go on a dribble! Certainly in their United careers, Kelly was so much more important, even if Paddy goes on to better things next season at QPR. For the owls, Kevin Pressman probably saved the owls from a succession of derby double defeats when he was in goal, and for such a portly chap, he certainly got around his goal well. Maybe he saved his best games for the derbies, but the relief when Browny belted that cracker past him in 2003 showed just how much respect most blades fans had for him. A million miles away from our current keepers, neither of whom would figure in great owl or blades teams...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeSteve Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) I only saw Alan Hodgkinson play at the end of his career around 1969 to 1970 so I can't say how good he was at his peak. Since then Tom McAllister (71-75) and Alan Kelly (92-99) are the best I have seen. I also liked Jim Brown (73-78 ) A tough one to call, but think I'll go for Hodgkinson.
