Goalkeepers?

Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:03 pm

Was trying to think of a goalkeeper who could kick the ball out properly and came up with Pat Jennings, remember him? What is it with goalkeepers this day and age, they seem to have lost the ability to kick the ball out properly. It either goes into touch or goes through to the opposing goalkeeper!

Healey or Irwin both good kick takers, not sure about shot stopping though, although Healey was a good penalty saving keeper.
