    Saved 2 penalties vs Rotherham. Massive crush & only one turnstile open.

    I used to give a **** back then.

    First keeper I remember, always thought he was well old. Turns out he was only 32 in the promotion season under Alan Clarke. A spring chicken compared to the other goalkeeping legend we signed Mike Pollitt

    There were a few before.

    Lars Leese & Dave Watson. Holy Christ. I think we have a great keeper now, but those two were Premier League standard.

    We’ve had some shockers too, Paul Malcolm and Gary Copley spring to mind. I think Gary made one appearance in 78/9 and let in three in the last ten minutes.

    That’s when football was the only thing that mattered.

    I'd add Heinz Muller to that list. Pre injury at least.

    Sadly Gary's appearance is melted into my subconcious.

    That is so true, I remember that game from over 40 years ago so vividly. Each goal seeming like a carbon copy of the previous one as we succumbed from 4-1 up in the last few minutes. Thankfully I think that was his only appearance in the promotion winning season.

    I used to see Clive Baker most mornings on his way in to Oakwell in his Ford Orion. Always liked him as a keeper, not the tallest but as mentioned on here a great shot stopper.

    The Ford Orion just makes the picture. Genius.

    I liked Clive Baker. Would have been the best but for his lack of height.

    I was at that 4-4, against Stockport if memory serves. If they'd had a couple more minutes they'd have won it.

    First goalkeeper I remember was Roy Ironside. He was pretty poor as I remember and let in a howler on one match that was on TV. A rarity in those days.
