Fabio should never have done that to him at the WC.
Always liked Greeno, was good for us. Binned us off for a load of dough to sit on the QPR bench though, didn't he?

Was good for us and probably deserved more England caps but the way he moaned like a little bitch about it was a bit cunty I thought. Like David James he'll probably have few fans despite being one of our better players over the years. Both a bit unlikeable really.

Wildly underrated would be to suggest we had Lev Yashin on the books and treated him like Allan McKnight.
The truth, as always, is in between. He wasn't shit, but he also wasn't as brilliant as you say, he was a good goalkeeper that had some brilliant days. You get what you deserve if you're a truly brilliant player; he he left us to join QPR.

for about 18 months he was great, pretty much as good as any in the league, by the time England clocked he was already on the decline and he was never the same. Seemed to have the mental strength of bolty which probably didn't help him.

Eerie - I think so, yes. You'll find plenty on here who think he was shit, when really he was quietly brilliant. Didn't seem to gel with the fans like the likes of Adrian, which I don't think helped.
England fans never really rated him either - and that was before the USA game.

Excellent keeper. When he joined us, he was the best we had since Phil Parkes.
His outstanding performance at The Emirates, in the great escape season, is still a stand out West Ham goalkeeping memory, for me.
Never recovered, from that World Cup howler though.

He was fantastic during the Great Escape.
Didn't he save 2 penalties in that 9 game run-in?
