Best RFC 'keeper of all time

[marcusopp]

I've been watching the almighty royals since the late 80's and find it difficult to choose between Feds and Shaka.
I wasn't around during the steve death era, but he has the best name without a doubt!

USA! USA! USA!

[biscuitman]

Err where on earth is Phil Whitehead? Why is Alex McCarthy there?!

[Maquisard]

You forgot Jimmy Quinn

[windermere_royal]

Wheres Gary Westwood and Arthur Wilkie? there should a other option

[bobbybottler]

Shaka by a fucking street.

A honourable mention to Marcus.

Hislop by a country mile, end of thread. Only ever had one had one bad game for Reading just sadly it was when it mattered.

Brilliant keeper,I can't remember that well but am I right in thinking he was only on loan here?

[BenSmith91]

Who was our 'keeper before Phil Whitehead? Was it Howie?

[Ian Royal]

Between Shaka and Hahnemann. Feds is some way behind those two.

I'd have thought Death must be up there, never saw him though.

Deathy was a great keeper at the level we were playing at the time, he would have been found out at the highest level because of his size

I think we all know who sandman voted for.

[Ian Royal]

I voted Hahnemann in the end, not necessarily because I think he was better than Shaka, but because he should definitely finish ahead of Federici.

[Caskeys Lovechild]

A walk in the park for Shaka. We've had some very good keepers over the years - but I've never really re-captured that feeling of complete faith in a goalkeeper than Shaka was able to achieve. As mentioned earlier - only really had one stinker for us - unfortunately it was at Wembley - and even then, he played better than most other goal-keepers would have managed.

Are the goals bigger in the higher leagues then?

[Gordons Cumming]

Steve Death

Held the record for the longest time without conceding until Van der Sarr took it from him.

No contest.

Saying he would be found out at the highest level is a ridiculous statement. Sorry.

[Biscuit_Boy]

Seeing Mihilovic on the list reminds me of a story at the time. I heard that one of the reasons he signed for Reading was that he'd seen footage of the play-off game against Bolton, and he thought that Wembley was our home ground!

[URZZ]

Never had the privilege of seeing Death or 'Shaaaaakur' play. I'll have to go USA for that reason - although I believe it would be different had I witnessed one/or both of the other two!
