Reg Matthews was my first. Little Les Green was brilliant but flawed. Colin Boulton was possibly the most consistently reliable. Shilton had an aura that put strikers off but, as you say, his distribution was questionable. Poom was excellent and we made a profit on him. He cost £595K and we sold him to the Black Cats for just over £3M. Taylor was an old fashioned guts n thunder keeper. Of the loan keepers we've had I had, and still have, time for Butland.

If I could have any of them brought back to us in their "Derby prime" it would be Colin Boulton.
