Best Australasia KEEPER

Best Australasia KEEPER

Who do you think is Australasia's BEST keeper?

Bolton and Bannatyne have gotta be the best equal, who voted for Utting?? lol

Phil Imray (Wests) or Andrew Pegler (Miramar 2nd team)

Ross Nicholson?

yep, THE man from Auck City

Yeah Roscoe would've been a good option 2 years ago but now he's turning rather poor and makes quite a lot of errors nowadays.

so does Michael Utting still even PLAY? he had quite a drinking problem didnt he?

Waitakere in the NZFC and occassionally Gisborne in the Central League.

So do you think he is good enough to return nowadays?

He's retired from the National side but on his game he's still one of the best shot stoppers in the country, possibly the best.  You just have to accept he's a couple of cucumber sandwiches short of a picnic with it.

Get to TW vs Waitakere this summer and see him in action.

well based on what you say i think i probably should! i remember him for the the Kingz and he played second fiddle to Roscoe but he did look very capable, maybe well see him again, would be welcome change for James Bannatyne for me anyways

who voted for milosevic? own up please!

My bet ?

FrankieMac.



I'm pretty sure Nicholson played one game and one game only for the Kingz, right Wodger ?  Would have been hard for him to be second fiddle to one match.

Batty, Nutting, Duke, Coehlo, Marsh, Theoklitos, Nutting.  Occassional Tamati Willaims, Scott Bishop, Bannatyne, Rossco, one more I can't remember.

Is it just Goalkeepers..

yeah he played second fiddle to Roscoe who played second fiddle to Jason Batty, didnt they have a greek keeper in the later years of the club??

The Melbourne Keeper...

oh yeah thats the guy, im pretty sure i got his autograph but its real hard to read

Kingz reject :D

hahaha yeah, man Roscoe and Utting are the leaders on the poll! so much for Loyal Phoenix supporters! l

THis is a very weird poll.  The best keeper we've had play for a pro team in NZ is Theo by a country mile followed by brain melt Utting.

Bolton really is THE man, followed by Utting in terms of best 'out-n-out goal stoppers', i think Jason Batty was the best for NZ , but you really cant be sure with all the new guys coming through.

I can't believe Brad Jones isn't on here. Australian Peter Enckleman maybe? Saw Utting play for Gisbourne this year he looks a bit hefty now. Even got Subbed when they went up by two.

Is Enckleman an Aussie? The one who played in the Premier League (he may even still play there).

lol now thats poor fitness, its not like he's running up and down the field every 5 seconds, must be all that booze and smokes lol

On the ever reliable Wikipedia he is Finnish. I bet Melberg still regrets the throw in. He is at Blackburn on the bench in there game today.

Well he can't even take goal kicks so there must be a groin injury there aswel.

well thats what he gets lol

I'm kinda purturbed that Hayden Englefield isn't on the list. For a short guy he puts himself about.

How can you not vote for the only Premier League keeper on the list. If Bolton is that good, why play A-League. Theoklitoris is good but Schwartzer is a step above them all. Toffeeman2007-09-04 10:47:56

Never really considered Theokiltoris, probably because i havent seen much of him as of late.

hmm well even so i never really payed much attention to him lol

That throw-in gave me a decent chuckle.loyalgunner2007-09-06 20:35:21

WOW! i wish i had added Ante Covic, that man kicks ass!

I rate Covic and Theo above Bolton. Maybe Vukovic too..

utting was better than all of them at his best, but i'd go for vukovic now, even though like toffeeman says, he's only stopping a-league shots

Theo! Theo! Theo! Theo!

This MUST be a piss take. Schwarzer and AC Milan's Kalac (who doesn't even make this list somehow) and then the rest are barely fit to lace the boots of these two.
