Where's Willie Nimmo? 
Andy Rhodes was one of mine.
I just missed out on seeing Harry Gregg.

[leedshayter]

Wheres boydie ???

[IDM]

In my time I would say Sulli has been the best.  Yes Warrington was great for us, and Turnbull may be, but for the success the ex-international ex-premier league 'keeper helped bring, it has to be Sulli...

[jonnydog]

Where's Gary Woods?

[DRFCSouth]

Where's big Nev?!

[Wade Falana]

He only let 3 in though! Could have been a lot worse.

Ian Nimmo was a striker.

[SoundbiteBarmyArmy]

Where's Jan 'Master penalty saver' Budtz!?

And, massive Tonny Nielsen!?

[boro_rover]

No perry suckling? I remember slating him as a kid at the McCain stadium after a game as a kid and he was stood behind me laughing!

[wing commander]

Easy for Dennis.............Dennis Peacock will always be my favourite Rovers Keeper...

[Bentley Bullet]

Fred Potter wasn't bad!

[drfc1951]

John Ogston,Harry Fearnley both great keepers.

No  Idler is right willie nimmo played a lot of games for rovers

[Bentley Bullet]

Willie Nimmo played in goal for Rovers in the late 50's / early 60's.

[Bentley Bullet]

Gordon Morritt was quite good, as was his counterpart John Gavan.

[Bentley Bullet]

And I bet NO ONE remembers David Cromack!

[ReadingViking]

Dennis Peacock,  Andy Rhodes and Paul Crichton (just for his triple penalty save at Rochdale)

[DRFCSouth]

Andy Beasley. Think he's at Leeds now coaching.

[FilanDivorce]

Gary Woods was on the painting originally, but just like in real life when in goal for us, he did a disappearing act.

[LongbridgeMGRover]

Bentley Bullet, i was just about to mention David Cromack. Didnt he let six in on his debut against Mansfield Town????

And Kim Book, George Best scored seven against him in an FA Cup tie when kim played for Northampton. Then we went and signed him!

A bit like that bloke David Beckham scored against from inside his own teams half!!! We just had to have him eventually!!

[Dutch Uncle]

And I bet NO ONE remembers David Cromack!

Wrong Bentley 

Saw him let in 6 in a 4-6 home defeat probably in 1966-7. May have been Mansfield

edit: sorry Longbridge - you beat me to it

I stand corrected. Apologies Idler.

[drfc1951]

Conceaded 6 goals on his debut v Mansfield.

[Donny Dub]

Wot? There's no place for the great, heroic Harry Gregg.

A few of my fave's from the last 30 years. Andy Rhodes was the first keeper who I thought wow your pretty good, Andy Beasley was another, often underrated but I recall one game at Shrewsbury which was probably the finest goalkeeping display I have witnessed, seemed to be pulling off quality saves every other minute. Dean Williams also impressed, quite small for a keeper, but a cheeky chappy who loved a spat with the opposition and fans (Hartlepool pie incident !), more recently Sullivan became a bit of a legend, I will probably remember him most for his time wasting antics against Leeds & Brentford, but generally solid and reliable. Turnbull I think could be one of the best, he actually looks like a keeper, just need to see him commanding his box more.  There have been a few shiters over the years too !
