Samba Brice

There's a long tail end to that list. In ranking order I'd have top 5 best as

1) Van Breukelen
2) Dave Beasant
3) Steve Sutton
3) Hans Segers
4) Mark Crossley
5) Dorus De Vries

I'm not sure Brice gets into that top 5 yet but may do if he has a solid 2nd season.

Impressive list, some really top draw keepers there. Agree with most, other than I might argue Segers did OK but matured into a top keeper after he left. Vaguely recall Cloughy commenting something like Segers looked like he was trying to chase Hayleys Comet after a particularly flappy game....only Brian eh?

Only Sutty and Norman really did long service for us off the list. Proviso as obviously Beasant was late 30s, but was unbelievable. I thought Darlow as a young lad was very good for us.

Out of that list Samba reminds  me most of Segers at present.
