6' 2" , England u21's and MOM in Facup final before us .....played some great games for us in the top flight...... Easty a good servant for us in league 1 ....couple of very good seasons.
Ha ha was he six two? He seemed small to me. I think he was scarred by his time with us. Whitehead was great for us but not a success afterwards for Reading - a lot of our keepers have had good periods of two or three years.
He couldn't kick for toffee , would struggle with that side of the game but a good keeper at better level than Easty
I do like the but. As I always say, it's a forum, so will post as I wish, as may you. Put down, I said he is a prospect up there to sell on, how is that knocking him? Shakin' Stevens is being festive, and allowing for a few errors.
It's not though, you enjoy putting younger players down and the Shakin bit wasn't exactly trying to boost how people perceive him . Loans were at a time when it really wasn't the right time for Stevens but I think we all see it is now . He may be the answer, maybe he won't be but try to support him and let's seeI do like the but.

Relax man, we'll see how Stevens performs not yesterday but Saturday. It matters not what I think, kr seems to bring in loans anytime stevens gets near keeping goal. We need a genuine first choice, someone commanding his area. Some have written Eastwood off, but every keeper loses form. He's 31 and will come good. As Eastwood has lost form, lets hope stevens finds some to sheer up the defence, or we may all just "Cry just a little bit."
Totally agree. I saw him on his debut for oufc in a reserves match. To this day, I have an image in my mind of him making a reactive save from a point blank header that even Shilton would have been proud of.
Didn't Hucker end up at Man Utd on loan during his time with us? Can't remember if he left us for anyone else, but seem to remember him dropping out of the professional game pretty quickly afterwards.
I don’t think he was at Man U? I recall him going to Aldershot. In my mind he was a Sam Slocombe type of keeper but it was my early days of watching us.
Eddie breary, was on the bench for the last pizza trophy game.....
Jimmy Barron would just shade it as the best Oufc keeper for me
Went on loan twice to Man U and once at WBA without playing .....ended up at Aldeshot in the league before they went bust !!
Andre Arense.....v.poor and ended up playing at the world cup finals !!!!
Jim Barron for me
