We have actually had some good keepers at this club, I dont remember Parkes, but we've had Ludo, Green, Shaka and even James statistically is one of the all time greats (if you can believe that).
Maybe we need to see a bit more of our current #1, but he seems to be in Pole position (ha!) for HOTY and certainly our best value signing of the summer. He has been superb for us so far, won us many points, and on current form I would argue he is the best keeper in London at the moment (Ben Foster may disagree but technically he plays in Herts anyway), which would make him top 3-4 in the league.
How would you rank our keepers of the last 20 years?

Would Mervyn day be in there somewhere i know down the list i just remember seeing him on tv over here back in the 70s he seemed pretty spectacular back then
Horses for courses really. Think Parkes, Ludo, Day or fabianski in their or on their day fit the bill. Its really down to ones own view. Fabs has saved as on numerous occasions, Day won the FA cup. Ludo was merely a great keeper. Parkes was England material.
How many England keepers we had. James, Parkes all be it minor, Shilton and Green out of them 4 i would choose Parkes. Didnt Parkes even score a goal from his area for us. So on that criteria i will opt for him. Fabs still one in the making.

This .
He keeps it up for a prolonged period of time he’ll be up there with Parkes & Grotier .
No idea where he ranks because it's his first season but along with Diop and Anderson,he has been a " gem " of a signing.
That save in the first min on Friday night was top class. I know it ht his face but Babbel was waiting and waiting for Flappy to go to ground and Flappy just crouched down low nd made himself a huge target at close range. Quality moment !!
And the angle he came out made the striker indecisive.
