    Not the best but Tomlinson was my favourite.
    The best is probably Schwarzer, followed by Clarke.

    You are thinking of Tony Clegg who went in goal but yes one of our most memorable days!

    He was actually playing for Man City reserves against City reserves on trial from Kaiserslautern and had a blinder against us, I was actually there as I used to love going to reserve games. Man City coach told Kamara and Richmond that they couldn’t afford the fee- Imagine that nowadays-Richmond then did the deal with his German club and he joined us for about £250,000 a few days later.

    One million percent agree. Factor in where we were, and he's the best. Simply the best.

    Been going since 1994 and I’m saying:
    Clarke
    Schwarzer
    Walsh.

    Ah yes, the good old days, when Man City were a football club and not Abu Dhabi sport washing Inc.

    I thought that was Tony Clegg that went in goal. Whoever it was our defence didn't let Whitehurst get anywhere near our stand in keeper.

    Top keeper in his few short number of games with us . You could see it straightaway . I’m surprised he ended up with us then off again so quickly ?

    We’ve had some cracking goalies, Walsh, Schwarzer. Paul Henderson and Donovon Ricketts had great seasons, Doyle was popular. Matt Clarke another with one good season.

    we’ve had some at the other extreme too - Boaz Myhill was woeful, Zabica, Sattelmaier, Raeder was a random signing.

    Gould in the Kamara team, Rhys ‘can’t dive to his left (apparently)’ Evans. Johnny Mac was average here but improved elsewhere.

    Alex Bass with that wonder save at Walsall, then got very erratic.

    Pickford looky shaky on loan on crosses but then got better as season went on.

    Prudhoe was solid enough from what I remember.

    any others from 90s onwards?

    Pat Liney

    I was a goalkeeper in my day, as no-one is around to say it now, I was quite good.

    Ask Andy Wilson

    Echoing Selby, I was a really young lad at St. Clare’s when we signed Pat Liney, I always wanted to be like him. So I guess he was my favourite but I can’t get beyond Peter Downsborough as the best we have had. He always seemed to be so far above the normal level for the time.

    Southall was probably the best to ever wear a city shirt, just a shame we didn’t have any big enough to fit him at the time
