Oh yes, he had his champions in England (not just his teammates). Shilton was by no means universally regarded as better.

I am sure he did.

 

Personally, both Shilton and Jennings make a far better argument. 

 

That is before you get to Zoff and Maier.

That's one of the greatest knee slides ever. I often think that the only reason I didn't become a world famous professional footballer is because I know I couldn't do a decent knee slide. Similarly I

Yes. Out of interest, how many games per season did you watch them play?

I got into the game through my father traveling in Germany - was my first jersey. Adidas.

Wore #5 growing up. Soccer Made in Germany was one of the first shown in the US. Great stuff.

Do you remember the 74 and 78 World Cups?

Peter Shilton is a shit, stupid, curly headed fuck.

 

My Dad says Jennings is the best keeper he's ever seen.

 

I always thought Southall was the best until Alisson changed my mind.

 

Shilton was decent but overrated. Surprise,surprise for an England GK not playing for Liverpool! He did used to have blinders against us though.

Interesting point, he deals with these 1v1s fairly regularly and just cracks on like it's part of the job, no drama. 

Other keepers go absolutely apeshit at their defence every time they're forced to do some work and make a save or two, because they're so uncomfortable in those situations and they know they got away with one.

 

That's how cool he is, rentlessly handsome too. God I love him. 

This. His mental strength and calmness is his biggest attribute I'd say. If he fucks up, he just gets on with it. Cool as the proverbial. It's something many keepers don't have.
