I never fault Martyn would be topped but I have come to the conclusion that Jules was better then Martyn and Jackson *Ducks For Cover*

Matt Clarke could have been up there, injuries apart

speroni is indeed a great keeper but martyn is still a better keeper overall, only because he commanded his area which is jules only weak point

I've been going down the palace since 1968 and although Jules,Nigel,budgie etc have been brilliant keepers,in my humble opinion the best of all was John Jackson.
he played a huge part in keeping us in the old top division for 3 years.

Chris Day - Boom !
On a more sensible note. Matyn was fantastic and did command his area better than Speroni, but Speroni has pulled off so many saves that have you thinking "how the f*** did he get to that ?"

Vary hard choice I would have them level

Great as Jules has been, I have to agree with the bicycle repair man - Jacko for me and they had less protection from referees in those days. Talk about commanding the area - He commanded half the pitch.

Nigel Martyn. He just is the best. Speroni is great too but not quite as great.

I seem to remember an amazing save from Andy Booth at home to Huddersfield in a 0-0 in in hmmmmm 95/96ish that actually got a standing ovation for about 2 minutes.

Missed John Jackson...just

For me in my time (since 1974)

1. Big Nige
2. Jules
3. Budgie

Honourable mention to Matt Clarke who I thought could have been great for us
