This idea came from a post on the forum. A regular poster called Keep Right On is compiling a list for each position. Please vote in the poll for your opinion on who was the best.

——————————————————————————————————————

Harry Hibbs
Harry played his whole career for the Blues, playing 389 games for the team. He was the reliable keeper that saw the Blues play regular football in the top tier of English football, and also reach the 1931 FA cup final. He may have gone onto to play more for the side, but the Second World War ended his career. He played 25 times for England.

Gil Merrick
Gil played 485 league games for the Blues, in a career the stretched over three decades. Gil was the keeper that played at Wembley in 1956, and was part of the side that won the second division in 1955, and finished 6th in the first division the following season, out best ever finish. He played 23 times for England.

Johnny Schofield
Johnny had the unfortunate experience to play ‘second fiddle’ to Gil Merrick for most of his Blues career. But as soon as Gil lost his place, it was Johnny who filled his boots. He went on to play in both the 1960 and 1961 finals of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and well as being on the winning side during the 1963 League Cup.

Jim Herriot
Signed from Dunfermline in 1958, Jim was one of those keepers who would make world class saves for the whole match, but let the ball go through his hands in the last minute. He was nearly ever-present in the side as the routinely finished mid-table in Division Two, before losing his place to Dave Latchford in 1970. He played 8 times for Scotland.

David Seaman
David was brought by Ron Saunders of Peterborough in 1984. He performed steadily helping the side to promotion in his first season. It was during his second season with the club that his performance’s started to catch the eye. He was sold at the end of the 1985-86 season, and would later go on to become England’s No 1 keeper, playing 75 times.

Ian Bennett
Ian was undoubtedly one of Barry Fry’s better signings. He play regularly for five seasons, helping the side to promotion from Division Two, before briefly loosing his place to Kevin Poole. But it was not long before Ian was back between the sticks for the Blues, and over the next few season’s helped the side gain play-off places in Division One. He also played in the League Cup Final of 2001. With the introduction of Nico Vaesen and Maik Taylor, it was felt that it was time for Ian to move on, and he joined Leeds in 2005.

Maik Taylor
Signed initially on loan, it was Maik Taylor that made the goalkeeping position his own during Blues’ latter Premier League years. A string of stunning performance, such as his display against Manchester City saw manager Steve Bruce sign him permanently in the January 2004 transfer window. Having only lost his place in the side once to Colin Doyle, Maik has successfully helped the side to two promotions from the Championship.
