i think the british overrated him. i remember an away game against poland where he kept on mishitting clearances straight to the polish striker. after that i always had my reservations. not to mention the badly-timed bloopers (nayim and ronaldinho).

of course, some great contributions in euro 96. i'd call him a very good goalie, but not a great one.

PONYTAILED LUMBERING MISHAP!

He was in my dream last night for some reason.

Not as good as Chris Woods.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris Woods rocked.

Which is not a good thing for a keeper to do.

He is the new face of Curries. And you thought it couldn't get any worse than Linda Barker!

shame the halfway line is just out of shot

i think it is a great shame Seaman had to end his international career with that ghastly revisit of this scenario at the World Cup - he cried bitterly afterwards apparently and you can't blame him. still that save against Sheff Utd in the semi-final last year was as good as anything else he'd ever done.

i forgot that save! incredible. old safe hands, indeeeeeeeeeeed

Here's the picture of that Nayim goal just going over Seaman's head.

That Sheffield United save was some Mr Tickle shit, indeed.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Great save in the 5-1 Germany game when the score was 1-1. But you can't excuse those multi-coloured tops he wore in the 90's.

I think he was a very good keeper, but I guess I wouldn't put him in the Shilton bracket, or alongside Banks. That's not such a bad thing, though.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't Shilton over-rated tho?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen shilton or banks play but easily one of the great goalkeepers of our time. And yes, people make the odd mistake.

actually i've just remembered Shilton remains technically the most famous person i've ever interviewed and he was a lovely bloke and i won't hear a word against him

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Shilton was the second best English keeper in my lifetime. Seaman might be third, but Clemence might beat him.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

they are the only England goalkeepers from before 1990 i can name

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

(plus Banks obv)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Joe Corrigan! Didn;t Phil Parkes play once for England?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i think the british overrated him

National hero in Scotland after the 2002 World Cup, but I would hardly say over-rated...

King Dud of Dudsville on They Think It's All Over. He's that bad, it would be better if Lineker came back.
