Dave Maclaren must rate as one of the best. Noel Dwyer as one of the worst, in his case a few too many pies or pints as he always seemed to be in the Fortescue.
Yeah McClaren was great. Pat Dunne had his moments too! Furnell & Crudge probably make it with McClaren for consistency over a number of games.
I tend not to do 'worst' keepers/players, i played in goal for Pasalb several times, never sweated so much in me life!! respect those who made it to pro level, they were all much better than i ever was so if i say they were carp then i'm saying i was worse than carp!!
Dwyer was a 'character' tho'!! one of the reasons why the four-step rule and anti-time wasting was introduced!! he used to walk up and down on the line keeping the ball up in the air with his head! when a forward ran in to 'threaten' him, he'd catch the ball, smile sweetly, and then start again! saw him barged several times, used to drive centre forwards mad!! can't remember if he was a clown or a genius as far as actual keeping goes!!
