Another Canadian hall of fame player. I never got a chance to see him play, so it'd be hard for me to say if he was our best keeper. The best keeper that I have seen for Canada is Craig Forrest.

Not one of the best, would not be higher than 4th on our current depth chart. Had a weak stewardess imitation he used to do on the planes when the Whitecaps were flying. I think he thought people were laughing with him....

He was a competent keeper, but nothing special.

I agree with that assessment. He had a different personality too, typical of many goalkeepers.

So did the Saudi keeper who got shellacked 8-0 in 2002.

To be fair to that Saudi keeper, he played out of his mind during the 1994 first round.

But G-Man also forgot Paul Dolan who was a clear #2 during the Craig Forrest era.

I've never seen Tino play but I've heard more about his antics than his exploits on the field.

You've probably forgotten some of the notorious drubbings Forrest got in the EPL.

If we remind you of them will you slag him off too, just to be consistent? Is there any Canadian player you won't crap on for spite and pettiness?

You are on a Canadian fan forum, and you are trash-talking Canadian national team players just because someone that irritates you spoke well of them. Pathetic.

Wasn't he the goalie for the Hamilton Steelers in the CSL ? He was short with cat-like reflexes if it's the same guy I'm thinking about.
