After Michael Cooper looked back to his best against Bolton, Phil Ridley looks back at the great, good and eccentric goalkeepers to have worn the gloves for Sheffield United.
Thanks, Phil - that was a great read. I like the bit about goalkeepers being "wired different" - you're definitely on to something there!
My own "first goalkeeper" for the Blades was Paddy Kenny so I didn't know any of those previous to him, but they definitely sound like characters! Simon Moore was one of my favourites, but I think Dean Henderson wins the gold medal. However, Michael Cooper is looking very sharp again, so he may be the next great name.

PS. You forgot to mention Phil Jagielka!
Excellent Phil, great piece and for once I agree with everything you’ve said.
One question did you buy a sheepskin from Budgie???…….. I guess you were too young 😬
I thought you agreed with me more than most Bert 🤣
