I think it originally started in the home game against Parma in 99. Think it was due to a hip adductor muscle Klos was injured with, but it wasn't like he couldn't kick to begin with anyway! That was the start of that injury anyway. He came out in the second half wearing long pants and then Niemi was in goal the next couple of games.

Willis 20,919 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I had that yellow top when I was a kid, only goalie top I've ever owned Klos was world class. I think Goram was better, but weve been blessed with some really great keepers over the years. Were lucky be having this debate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Good rather than great imo. Ā Excellent shot stopper but poor on crosses and commanding the six yard box. Ā At theĀ time when we had central defenders like Konterman being outmuscled and intimidatedĀ by Sutton/Hartson, I thought he could have taken a few more risks in coming out and helping out the defence deal with the high ball. Ā Maybe unfair on him as it wasnāt his natural game, and the blame should more fairly rest on our CBs, however still would have liked to see him do more on the cross ball.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 We've had some very very good keepers over the years. Apart from the obvious Walker, Ginsburg, Niemi, Charbonnier,Ā Watterous, and Alexander were no mugs either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were lucky be having this debate Goram was brilliant but I think Klos just edges him out, just ever so slightly though. Both were outstanding keepers for us.

Produced an amazing individual performance at the piggery when we won 2-0 which helped us win the league.Ā Wasnāt as good in his second season. It's not hatred or anything, just remember Klos sticking by us when there was options for him and also taking the armband. Was a lot younger then so probably a blind spot there as well...

I dare say he must be below average in terms of top drawer keepers? Can't name any shorter at his level off the top of my head anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Klos was a fantastic shot-stopper but I rate Goram, McGregor, Woods and (the vastly underrated) Waterreus as better thanĀ him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
