Who do you think was the best Southend goalie?

[RobM]

Just out of curiosity....

Why is Paul Sansome not there..... what a keeper over a long period. 308 appearances.

 

[onceknownasrab]

Swervin' Mervyn without a doubt.

Only ever saw Daryl and Dan in a Blues shirt out of that list, I'd go for Dan over Daryl purely as the better all-round goalkeeper and I think Dan will go on to play at the highest level.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I've added Paul Sansome.

Tough one to decide, I went with Royce but Bentley was a close second.

 

[RobM]

I've added Paul Sansome.

Thanks. I knew I'd miss someone!

 

[RHB]

I've added Paul Sansome.

And I've voted for him. Tough choice as I've seen all of them play and I have good memories of all of them.

 

[SU BLUE. 2]

What no Peter Goy or Harry Threadgold?

 

[Lord Zoltan]

No Tes Bramble? This poll is a disgrace :angry:

If you're going to include a loan player, you must include Adam Federici.

 

[Beefy]

Royce is the best I've seen. Royce was streets ahead of Bentley and that's no slight on Dan. Royce was also several years older. Maybe in time Bentley could have surpassed Roycie had he stayed longer but for me there's only one option here.

Also worth noting that Bentley looked good in League Two for us - Royce looked brilliant in the top half of what is now the Championship.

And Neville Southall.

 

[Stuart W]

And Neville Southall.

No, the poll is for "best" goalie.

 

[LCBB72]

Watching Southend for 50 years , by far the best goalkeeper in that time is Trevor Roberts , I know that because of there ages nearly three quarters of supporters will vote else where .

Sansome for me, fantastic keeper.

Yep what I said on the other thread....great keeper....and now Bentleys coach...

Definately the most proven keeper we have had at Southend in recent years.

For our own goalies, Flahavan and Sampson were probably the best proven goalkeepers, and Bentley, whilst really good still has a lot to learn and is yet to reach his potential and that was never going to be with us!

Heart says Sammy but Royce edges it for me

 

[Special Blue]

Where's Mark Prudhoe?
Had to be Merv for me
