The poll so far confirms that this forum is top heavy in old gits and nearly old gits.

Sweet mate. I didn't realise it only gives ten options. I think MO still runs on dial upNo, leave it as it is mate, you know i was taking the piss
Goes nice with a bit of Babycham and windolene mate.Paint Stripper you know
True. Like boxing. For my dad it was Joe Louis, for me it was Ali and for my two sons it’s Mike Tyson.
Likewise. It can never be definitive, same for football when the Pele or Messi debate comes up. So many factors to be taken into account!

How very dare you Peckham, what a bar steward starting a thread on Millwall and best goalkeepers in the clubs history
Joking aside it might be our greatest and best as far as the quality goes position.,
Bit like you and may be a few others Never saw stepney, many say he was the best from chatting to fans down the years
King , Horne, Keller so close for me,
Many fans go for the ones they recall when young and sometimes forget they made mistakes so i am going King ha
Loved Horney as Hurlock said about him "just a kid brilliant wasnt he" You can tell when his talking he really loved Brian Horne
In some ways my favourite ever millwall keeper moment Bournemouth Away 89
When Horne saved that penalty, AND at the end where the wall fans were
Then someone comes along and says to yer "what better than Kellers at the Bridge v Chelsea" ?
Thats why its so hard
Tin hat on and getting my coat, someone will be on in a minute with "wheres fucking Lawrie Leslie on the list"
or if you were on the other site "where the fuck is Lawrie Leslie you fking Mug on that list"
Malcolm Finlayson another from the past,
Yes a lucky Position for us Goalkeeper, Dont even think Long is as bad as some say, They should have seen Pat Cuff !
Edit Also really liked Fordey and what a real nice bloke, spoke to him a few times outside, Showed real class as well recently one of the first coming back for JB

I chose Keller as in my time watching wall he's defo the best I've seen. As a Cockney Red I saw Stepney many times (including at wall in 74) but never saw him play for wall so can't count him. He was fucking good though
Apologies this ain't wall but always loved this moment, soft cunt that I am.

King just beats Stepney for me. My dad always said Finlayson was the best.

@obeney and @ParisWall are the only two who have been around since 1885.
Surely they're the only two who should vote?
We have had some terrific keepers but King just edges it over Stepney for me.

Oi. Who are you calling nearly old ? I’m an old git and proud of it. Stepney, followed by King, by the way
I'm nearly an old git mate but still look 32*
Never had the pleasure mate other than what i've seen from old TV footage.
Again, never see him play but have read all about him. He is no doubt the worst we've had going by fans stories, my old hated him. Every time he mentioned he's name it was followed by a swear word

We have been lucky to have had so many good keepers over the years. Probably due to the amount of practise they had in keeping the 'oppo out.
He probably made the greatest save I saw from a Millwall goalkeeper in fairness to him Vs Bradford in the playoffs
