    I remember Jake Findlay letting a head high cross go through his hands allowing Duncan Shearer to head in from a yard out for Huddersfield Town.

    Who was the guy that missed the open goal against Grimsby?

    That's pretty bad and yet I'd still want to find room for Hedworth, Ferry, Onabuje, Burton and Mitch Ward.

    Anyone who saw Ferry play witnessed the worst player we will ever have

    I know Roy Ironside played a good few for us, but I am sure that he was hampered by poor eyesight!! It seemed as though the league's experienced players knew this and would shoot from any distance over twenty-five yards in the sure knowledge that he was unlikely to see the ball until it was in the back of the net. This feat was achieved by several veteran players and the like and these are just a few of my treasured memories of Roy and the defence having to tell him, "It's in the net behind you, Roy!"
    1. Big Jim 'Pancho' Fryatt for Southport in the FA Cup from twenty-five yards out on the left wing.
    2. Alan 'The Tank' Birchenall from the HALF WAY LINE in the Hallamshire Cup against Sheffield United - I was standing directly behind the shot and it sailed in like a homing pigeon.
    3. Best of the lot - John Trollops for Swindon Town - he played 767 games at left back for Swindon over twenty-seasons, so averaging about one goal per season, but his one for that season was against Roy at Oakwell - another shot from way out on the left wing which trundled pitifully past the unseeing keeper.

    In other ways, Roy had been a good custodian for Rotherham before coming to us at the end of his career. It was just that he didn't seem to see the ball coming. One other goal he conceded in a televised game against Tranmere, in which the ball rolled slowly his way. He was just contemplating where to throw it after he had picked it up, when he realised that he hadn't picked it up and it ended up in the back of the net, via the space between his legs. If he, or his folks read this, it was a different game then and I thought he had good games as well. I saw him play a blinder at Aldershot in a 1-1 in the promotion season 67-68. I recall his blunders and seemingly poor eyesight with some affection really.

    David Preece. No contest. A goals conceded per game ratio second to none, I suspect

    Martin Taylor is one who spring to mind.

    Roy Ironside was so bad he helped get us promoted!

    Matt Ghent.

    Dreadful 'keeper during some very dark days, and a proper numpty off the field as well.

    At last someone's mentioned Taylor, not only the worst goalkeeper we've ever had also the fattest.

    Against Luton he dropped a cross in injury time and left their striker with a tap in. This was on his full debut for us!

    Paul malcolm

    Easily the worst keeper we have had. Played 3 times 86/7 season.

    Agreed, very good goalie. You're still wrong about Beresford though! :)

    Agree he was terrible in the couple of games I saw him play he seemed to drop everything.

    I find it hard to disagree with this. He made Carl Airey look like Messi
