Well, maybe. The truth is, it's impossible to say. He probably has as good a claim as any, though, having made more appearances for the club than anybody else. Everton began to reap the benefits of having a top-class goalkeeper: a confidence spreads from him throughout the team, as the defence feel secure knowing that a striker through on their goal still has work to do if he is to score, which in turn reassures the midfield who can shift more emphasis onto their attacking responsibilities. In the case of Neville Southall that striker has plenty to do: one-on-one situations are a speciality of his. Any number of forwards over the years have been intimidated into missing by the advancing Southall, his speed off his line and astonishing reflexes foiling even the best finishers. In fact, most areas of goalkeeping seem to be Southall specialities: virtually all modern keepers excel at stopping shots – it's what they are paid to do, after all – but he has taken this excellence to another level, a startling ability to change direction in mid-dive preventing innumerable wickedly-curling and deflected efforts finding the net. Many of his contemporaries have been found wanting when dealing with high balls, but, despite being at 6'1'' short by modern goalkeeping standards, it is perhaps in this area where Southall is most noticeably superior. The key is decisiveness – many fail to decide whether to catch or punch, or even whether to go for the ball at all. Not Southall, even when the studs are flailing. There probably isn't a weakness in his game. _________________ GoonerLover66 wrote: PMC wrote: I know that Gooner, S-Jsomething and somebody else don't like me but pls play fair :( That's news to me, I've always liked you.
