When was the last time we produced a decent keeper from our own academy?

I'm 47, been a supporter since I was 8, don't think I can think of one.

Been a while since a good home town goalkeeper anyway!

You could say the same about the majority of premier league teams.

I can remember back as far as Clemence and can't remember any home grown keepers. There was lots of potential but none ever came through the ranks.

was Gulasci from the academy? If he was then he’s become a competent keeper for a decent bundesliga side.

I’m 46, supporting since a similar time and I agree with Johnny.

So we ether go half hearted and buy Butland level or go all out for a top keeper and spend £80m.

Fair point. Although that Irish lad caomhin Kelleher highly regarded. Last keeper from ressies to get a lookin. a tough one mate. Tony warner? A danish keeper in early 90's?

Tommy Lawrence. Loved the guy. He was known as the 'Flying Pig'. Big lad in all senses of the phrase. He was in goal in my first ever Liverpool match attendance in 1962-3 season.

I remember thinking Anthony warner was going to b a good keeper but sadly never happened.

Grabara from the u23's is very good! should be made 3rd choice keeper and ay any dead rubber games or be sent out on loan for the season.

David James was good.

David James was a clown and was bought from Watford to replace Grobelaar. He was lauded as the next big thing in England.

Bob bolder was the last homegrown keeper. Him and Bruce grobelaar.

{Ed002's Note - Grobbelaar was hardly HG.}

Didn’t David James once injure this thumb from playing the PlayStation?

In fairness, David James was considered the best England goalkeeper for a long time and won over 50 caps. Shows how bad the keepers are in England overall.
Last decent keeper in England was David Seaman in my opinion.

Stephan Henchoz was good in the fa cup final.

Bob Boulder came from Sheffield Wed if I can remember right but never got a game for us back in the 80s. He was suppose to be Grobbelars understudy.

David James cost Liverpool the title more than once, he was terrible, great shot stopper but awful decision maker.

David James never injured himself playing his PlayStation, he blamed it for destroying his concentration in matches. He maybe had a point but he must have kept playing it anyway.

Bring Tony warner back.
