Q. Is there a club that revere goalkeepers, or big bastard centre backs, like our tens, or Newcastle nines?
A. Arsenal
The club that paid a then world record fee for a teenager and signed Clive Allen from us only to decide they wanted a LB more than a goal scorer and swapped him for Kenny Sansom from Palace before he ever got to play for them.
Great piece, as always. |  | | |

It’s a great shout. (Quiet edit incoming)

Yeah, but they're all from the Wenger era.
The traditional Arsenal way all the way back to Herbert Chapman in the thirties was grinding out clean sheets.
I suppose you could add Ted Drake to the mix - one for the kids there! [Post edited 15 Aug 21:37]

Before my time so had to Google him.
35 goals in 78 appearances. We could do with some of that these days.

Leicester were/are known for 'keepers. Banks followed by Shilton. Then, more recently Schmeichel Jr. [Post edited 16 Aug 0:19]

A refreshing reminder Clive that the real heroics are performed by those we love and admire on the pitch, and those who will be still around in 25 years to recall them. | |
