A certain Seamus Mcdonagh bought by lawrie mac. 1985 ish , had to be seen to be believed.
Made Lee Cramp look like Buffon.
 
In my lifetime:

Good: Sorensen, Myhre, Poom, Mignolet, Pickford, Given
Above Average: Pantilimon, Macho, Patterson
Average: Fulop (RIP), Westwood, Mannone
Below Average: Gordon (occasionally had flashes of being very good), Perez, Hoffman
Poor: Burge, Ruiter
Utter Shite: Camp, Steele, Davis

Will have missed a few but of the ones I saw enough of to judge thats my ranking
Sorry like but Gordon was levels above all of those you have in the Above Average/Average camps.
 
I hated Alec Chamberlain at the time but in hindsight I think I was a bit harsh on the bloke.
Yeah I'm the same. He was alright really, don't know whether that's down to more recent keepers being so terrible it makes older ones seem better haha.

I think I likely didn't like him initially as he wasn't Tony Norman. He had a good career though did Alec
 
I think I only saw Hesford play once, but not a chance he was worse than Lee Camp.
Hesford was the first goalie I can really remember. I remember a save he made against Oldham where he pulled the crossbar down let it go and the ball hit the bar. Sure it was against Oldham. He couldn’t kick straight to save his life. Remember Tony Normans debut and when he launched it from a goal kick there was a cheer from the roker end
 
All three equally inept..but even more baffling is the fact that all 3 are still making a (no-doubt) lucrative living from footie...
For a club who normally has one decent keeper, you could have played all 3 and still wouldn’t have had one.
Best:

Sörensen
Gordon
Given
Pickford

Good:

Manone
Poom
Norman
Mignolet

Decent:

Fulop
Perez
Patterson
McLaughlin
Chamberlain
Ingham

Shite:

Davis
Camp
Burge
Macho
Steele


I'll have missed some out
So you thought Ingham was decent and Macho shite? Ingham makes Kelvin Davis look like Allison Becker

I can't believe that anyone that witnessed McDonough's "apperances" could not clearly have him as our worst by some distance, even bearing in mind how poor some others have been.

Based on pure ability alone Gordon is the best for me. Camp is not just the worst GK but one of the worst players ever to play for our club.
