Not as long as you played at Fulham.
Joe Hart and Emi Martinez, along with Pepe Reina, and I would probably say David Seaman.
I was just thinking what to do and I kept checking.
I almost picked between David Seaman and Joe Hart, you know, the England goalkeeper.
Yeah, and...
And I went for David Seaman in number nine spot.
And Emi Martinez, yes, World Cup winner, I get that.
But he's not going for the biggest trophies in terms of club football.
You know, he's playing for Aston Villa.
Yeah, so he missed out there.
Yeah, I would say so, yeah.
Listen, he had a brilliant career at Arsenal, what he did for England as well.
And there was a big decision made at Arsenal in terms of John Lukic and then bringing David Seaman in.
John Lukic was a fan's favourite, won the famous title at Anfield, but George Graham brought him in because he knew he was a better goalkeeper.
And the defensive record with him and that famous back four was absolutely outstanding.
So yes, David Seaman goes in.
Do you have a view on that, Edwin?
The reason he's coming in because he's, for me, in the 80s and the first division before the Premier League, he was the best goalkeeper in the world.
So if we were judging all these goalkeepers on just their career, Neville Southall would be in my top two or three.
And still, I would say, in the Premier League era, at the start of it, he was fantastic.
