Best and worst Hibs goalkeepers

[Speedy]

Szamatulski worth a mention for the u30s but obviously wasn't here long.

I agree.
Did Ronnie Simpson hold the record for penalties saved in one season? 9 possibly? Just before Jock Stein took him to Celtic.

Stein sold him to Celtic at a time when he couldn’t get into our team.

He was but if Conrad isn’t getting in my top 5 class wise neither is the Budgie sorry.

Are people seriously listing Ben Williams as one of our best ever goalies? Or is there another Williams that I don't know about

Must be one of the most overrated Hibs players for years

Looks like a lot of young pups on this thread going by some of the replies.

Surprised no one has mentioned Rougie

Was just thinking the same. Fantastic keeper. Gorham and JL were as well. When Craig & Charlie wrote the song about "signing Hibs goalie" Gorham was our keeper.

Don't really remember Goram at Hibs so Leighton is the best I recall seeing. He was worth a lot of points to us and it's no coincidence we went down the season after he left.

Worst was Graeme Smith. He had been decent enough at Motherwell but had a torrid time at Brighton and his confidence was shot. I'm still not convinced his performance in the 6-6 game wasn't dodgy.

He saved a pen do you think dived the wrong way

Top 3 in order.
Andy Goram.
Jim Leighton.
Alan Rough.

That's the top three in my era for sure, with Goram by far and away the best. Brown, Smith, Malkowski, Caig all dreadful with a special mention for Gottskalksson, a woeful keeper, a Jim Duffy signing if memory serves

[21.05.2016]

Malkowski worst in all my time watching hibs. Says it all when your biggest rivals cheer your keepers name when he's mentioned in your starting XI but you can see why. The amount of goals he gifted away was a joke.

[IGRIGI]

Oli wasn't content with the standard move into the cab industry after retiring going by his wiki page!..





In March 2010 Ólafur was sentenced to a ten months prison term in Iceland for housebreaking, robbery and violent attack.In October 2011 he was sentenced to additional four months in prison for similar charges, including serious violence.

[weecounty hibby]

Goram, Leighton, Rough, Andersson, Logan. Rough is almost single handed kept us in the premier league. Conrad for his cup heroics. The others were very good keepers
Zibi, Maka, Smith, Oli the goalie(how ironic is that nickname?) Mike MacDonald. As a kid it always seemed that we lost when he played instead of Jim McArthur, we probably didn’t but that’s what I remember

Goram was sold in 1991 and Leighton arrived in 1993.

Budgie and Chris Reid were there between the two.

[Bostonhibby]

I was always led to believe they were singing about Roughie

Rating the best ones I've seen

Rough

Goram

Leighton

Burridge

MacArthur

Worst

Zibbi

Simon Brown

Smith

Could never work out How to place Jim Herriot simply because of the team he played in. He had games where he shipped a few but was probably underrated because we scored enough to win games where we did concede and were generally attacking most of the time. A competent keeper I guess.

Worst shouldn't even be a contest. Zibi isn't just our worst ever goalkeeper, he's our worst ever player.

[TelaStella]

Goram was before my time and I barely remember Leighton so my experience of hibs keepers isn't great as you'd imagine. Colgan and Anderson were certainly some of the better I've seen but I don't think either were ever as good as some make out. I'm surprised at some of the posts re Williams as I thought he was a very good solid keeper who hardly ever put a foot wrong not to mention the amount of penalties he saved in the 12/13 season. Reckon the season we went down he was arguably our best player and I'd of much rather stuck with him than take Oxley. Graham Stack wasn't nearly as bad as some made out either and was by far the best keeper out of that 5 or so we had under Yogi. Andy McNeil wasn't a shocking keeper either it was his height that let him down. Stepped up to the plate in 2007 as a kid when those around him were horrendous and helped win us a trophy. Macka, Brown etc were all some of the worst I've seen but I don't think I've ever seen a keeper quite like Zibi.

Best by a country mile Andy Goram brilliant shot stopper always got his angles spot on.

Tommy Burns once famously said Andy Goram broke my heart.

We we are a club that until recently always had a reputation for good goalkeepers Harry Rennie, Willie Harper, Tommy Younger, Laurie Leslie , Ronnie Simpson, Alan Rough, Jim Leighton and John Burridge.

These players were followed by a lot of average journeyman goal keepers simply not HIBS class.

The worst of which probably being Makalamity or Zibi Malkowski the vote going to Zibi as his performance against Hearts in that semi final albeit in a weakened team was imo a sackable offence.

I also feel that the jury is still out on Rocky as ok his performances have improved with the introduction of a wee bit competition for his position and he has pulled off some outstanding saves I still get the feeling that he is a disaster waiting to happen.

Ronnie Simpson was the best and it's just as well because the defence in front of him was awful.

When Turnbull's team started to unravel, we had Mike Macdonald from Inverness. Not a great keeper.

I think Ronnie lost his nerve for a while.The season we scored over 100 goals we lost more than 80 in 34 games!

To be fair, all keepers are "a disaster waiting to happen" and probably the same could be said about any player. The trouble is the keepers' disasters are spotlighted because they are the last man and the result is more than often the loss of a goal.
The Great Zibi made disasters an art form.

[BSEJVT]

Whilst I wouldn't disagree with many of the nominations on either side I am quite surprised to see Mark Brown not named in the worst category.

I thought he was a bloody awful goalie who I don't recall ever making a save I thought he wouldn't but failing to make plenty I thought he would.

top 5 for me
leighton
williams
colgan
andersson
and logan only for the scottish cup games

worst
simon brown
zibi
makalamby
caig
gottskalksson

I would swap Colgan and Makalamby. Colgan benefitted from a strong defence but often conceded soft goals. Makalamby had a few howlers but overall I didnt think was so bad.

The Proclaimers came from a time when we had a series of good goalies (Rough, Goram etc)
