Im biased.............. .......

beacsue I was at one time related to Kevin but even so the man was just brilliant.

Often quoted as the best uncapped English keeper.
He played in the era of great English Goalkeepers.
Peter Shilton and Ray Clemence were both world class keepers.

As a Kid Kevin was my fav footballer, I remember a brief spell later in his career when Roger Hansbury kept him out of the side and I would go to the home reserve games on a saturday.
It was heartbreaking watching such a great player play in front of a few hundred people.
He still gave it his all.
