Wasnt the best but loved Chris 'Budgie' Burridge. Mad as a hatter. One save at Charlton away is one of the best I have ever seen. Seemed to change direction of dive mid flow and kept out a certain goal
Hucker and Woods need to be on that list |
I was there that day and that save is still fresh in the memory, a great shot that hit the back of one of our defenders with Burridge already committed. Managed to twist in the air to tip the ball over the bar, and the R's went on to win 1-0. Stood at the top of the old big terrace as it was in those days and had a superb view of the pitch.
I think Hucker left the club as a result of a combination of Alan Mullery and the plastic pitch. Was replaced by Paul Barron. Parkes for me was the best, but Green is certainly one of our better keepers and Tuesdays double save was one of many great saves he has made for the R's. | |

I liked Jurgen Sommer a lot. |
Blob, are you serious? He was shocking apart from one game against Villa. Might as well put forward Rossi  |  | | |

Hucker outlasted the buffoon Mullery at the club by about 18 months. Hucker was still our first choice at the start of the 85/86 season when Jim Smith took over. He played the first nine games but I think got a serious injury (immediately before the Milk Cup run started) and Smith signed Paul Barron who kept his place pretty much the rest of the season bar a couple of games where PH played. I think Smith probably didn't rate PH that much as in the 1986 close season he signed Seaman and PH soon moved to Oxford. |  |

Chris Woods? When was that? |
1979/80 season. Tommy Doc signed him just after we were relegated. He was ever present (bar one game right at the end of the season when we couldn't get promoted) and lost his place not long after Terry Venables took over the following season when he signed Burridge and most of the rest of the Crystal Palace squad (or so it seemed). | |

In my time of following QPR I'd have to go for Parkes, Stejksal, Seaman & Hucker. We've had some damn good keepers in that time as well & Green is definitely in that list.
My knackered memory seems to recall that for a big guy Stejksal played like a fairy to start with & wouldn't come off his line but once he realised he could dominate his area he was immense. |  |

Parkes
Seamen
Hucker
the top three.
Rob is a tremendous shot stopper and now as good on his left as on his right. He's good at crosses. Negatives are his distribution and his total lack of pace of his line. He is a very very good keeper though. |  |

I think that really is one of the most ludicrous, hard of thinking statements I have seen on here in a long time.
The facts: Played pretty much 95% of his career at two clubs, the overwhelming majority of fans of both see him as their best ever.
Ridiculously only played once for England because Don Revie and Ron Greenwood seemed to think a far inferior keeper in Ray Clemence was better (big club favouritism). Clemence only looked good due to the back four in front of him. To me he always looked like he had a clanger in him. Remember Dalglish sending a powder puff shot through his legs at Hampden Park?
He probably only had one chance to be England's number 1 and that was just after the 75/76 season. Peter Shilton had fallen out with Revie and had ruled himself out of the summer tour to the USA. PP was due to be picked but had to withdraw for personal reasons (Jimmy Rimmer got picked instead).
I don't know whether Revie held a grudge but I seem to remember PP not featuring much in his subsequent squads and not featuring much with Greenwood either due to Shilton coming back into the fold. | |

I have been watching QPR since Pontius was a pilot and have seen some great goalkeepers.
Reg Allen was my first hero
Harry Brown
Ray Drinkwater
Ron and Peter Springett
and lots of others ,but for me the top three, in no particular order have to be
Reg Allen
Phil Parkes
David Seaman |  | | |

Anyone remember the game with sommer in goal where the opposition took a east quick free kick that was heading to one side of him....as he ran over to get it, he tripped and it went in the back of the net...only for the ref to call the ball back because he hadn't blown his whistle. A moment of complete ineptitude that had me laughing out load :) | | | |

Sommer had many moments of ineptitude it's hard to remember specifics bar the Aston Villa game at LR where he was like a combination of Lev Yashin, Dino Zoff , Peter Schmeicel and Jan Tomaszewski (Wembley '73) | |

of course its hard for me 90% of the clips are of him conceded goals
they rarely show the 9 saves a keeper makes just the one he concedes
he's always voted our best ever so probably is
but of the keepers I seen play mine would be seamen (freekicks apart!) brilliant in one on ones and crosses | |

Ron G is probably right, no arguing with his experience!
People really do under-rate Green, though. Not as good as Chris Day, Lee Camp and Paddy Kenny - seriously? All were decent for us at a level, but not one of them is or ever has been Premier League standard. |  |

I think we've had some great goalkeepers, I can remember when we had Mike Pinner in the late 50's and early 60's.
Probably one of the last true amateur International footballers. |  | | |

I go back further than most here - Phil Parkes definitely the best in every respect.
David Seaman - top class and a very close second
Jan Stejskal - anyone remember that game v Liverpool? He sometimes had a communication issue with his defence but nevertheless a great goalie and character nevertheless.
Rob Green has been given far more work to do than any of those but I rate him very highly, despite his peccadilloes. I would put him above any of the remaining others mentioned and I've seen them all since 1967. Just about on a par with Stejskal at present
I liked Chris Woods and thought he was a good buy at the time - he had just made some sort of history by playing for Florist in a Cup Final as a 19 year-old. Went on to get England caps
Ron Springett had a rather ignominious last game for us v West Brom one NY Day - we lost 4-0 and he looked as though he had been celebrating very hard. I remember an orange being thrown at him from the Loft. [Post edited 16 Feb 2015 10:13]

Budgie doesn't get on the best keeper list, but he does get on the greatest character list for sure. remember the scorpion kick? |  |

Best thing ever in the programme came from an interview with Stejskal.
"Who speaks better English - you or Ludek Miklosko?"
"I don't know. We speak Czech to each other." | | | |

Agree with Windsorhoopman but also agree Burridge at Charlton the best save I've seen. |  | | |

hucker was bravest ive seen
remember a night game game at wet spam where the wet spam striker pushed a qpr defender might have been wicks into hucker all were running at full speed they collided and wet spam striker scored a tap in
I was doing my nut (quietly) as was in the wet spam end hucker went off on a stretcher plenty of blood and knocked out ,10 mins later he was stiched up and back and we won 3-1 byrne bannister waddock | |

These would be my top 3 keepers too. Steskjal and Greene would rank closely somewhere after. I remember Steskjal used to get dogs abuse from some fans when he first started, much like Greene did, but once settled and by putting in a few decent shifts attitudes changed.
Some have mentioned Burridge on here. A bit of a character he certainly was and his pre match warm ups were as memorable as some of his performances during a match. Just how many clubs did he play for in his long journeyman career? |  |
