Since England's No 1 we've only had TT as a stand out keeper for any length of time . Tony had his critics but eventually turned opinion around eventually . We could certainly do with his like now . We have had a few decent mind , like Darcy , but on reflection only Stuart and Tony that i can recall have been outstanding and that's over almost a quarter of a century !
Considering some of the greats who wore the shirt previous to that it's baffling why so few are worthy of mention. Yes Tony and Stewart were both young at the outset here but the NL is a whole new ball game these days . The previousygreats i refer to all arrived at ML with a wealth of experience , mostly at a higher level and also in the 25 plus age bracket I feel we need to be looking for someone of this nature who has what it takes to handle situations , pressure , as well as expectations . Oh for an Alex Stepney !
