I honestly rate James as one of the best keepers in the Prem. When he's in form, he's nearly unbeatable. He's being doing great for Portsmouth this season.
I think he suffered from nerves/stage fright playing for England and it's definitely a confidence thing with him, but like I said, if he's playing well, he's top class.

........or simply because english goalkeepers are crap.
For me 70s was the time for English keepers... the rest of the world only had maier of germany and Zoff ... england had Shilton, parks, burriage, rimmer and clamance.. all top 'keepers for me

...that's probably because young keepers are being kept out 'cos it's en vogue to have an average foreign bloke between the sticks... Van Der Sar, Reina, Niemi, and the ones at Boro and Villa to name a few!
That guy is quality!

Originally posted by blade68Yeah, yeah, yup and WHAT? Robinson?
For decades England has produced the best keepers in the world, and you know it.
Banks, Shilton, Clemence, Parkes, Seaman, Robinson...
Please try to base your inane comments on FACT in the future.

C'mon Blade you were doing well there for a minute 😉

well to be fair... they were all from the 70s... banks did play in the 60s but the rest on your listed started in the 60s and played most of their games in the 70s...?

Peter Schmeichel.
No question.
He won the European Championship and kept the Germans at bay single-handedly in the final.
Also did the "impossible" treble with Man U in 1999.
Stupendously good.

Eccentric... you missed Ramon Quiroga - Peru 1978. 1st class entertainment!
but the Peru 0 - Argentina 6 erased what he did previously ...
that game was a shame ... and we are paying the bill 24 years !!! ( the last time we went to a World Football Cup was in Spain 1982 )

I remember Quiroga bringing Lato (Poland) down on the half-way line... great stuff!!
