If you were an actual old bugger you'd have gone for Bobby Clark..

I’m not proud of it, I’m not happy about it, but old bugger I certainly am. The first keeper I remember for Aberdeen was Tubby Ogston, and undoubtedly Bobby Clark was a great keeper. I saw him play countless times, including a day in March 1970 at Muirton Park, but there is no dispute that Jim Leighton was a better keeper.

I see kingjoey has already alluded to this, but I'll just leave it.

Greatest Scottish Keeper? Bobby Ferguson. Just for one save on a famous afternoon at Tynecastle. 

Sure he’s still living in Adelaide. Just realised that not only did I see him playing for Kilmarnock but also Adelaide City.

Moustache, maybe, but Goalie? Taking penalties doesn't make you a good keeper. Especially if they come off the woodwork and make you look an idiot scrambling to recover like that time at RP...

Fair play. I'm trying to remember when he hit the bar against us. It bounced back over his head, but whatever big haddie we'd left upfield made a hash of things so it fizzled out - played the ball backwards if I recall, so your boy's blushes were spared. I'm thinking mid/late seventies, around the formation and early years of the Premier League?

 

ETA: There's no doubt that he had enough screws loose to make him a "terrace hero" regardless of ability. The Scots version of Chilavert or Higuita?

There was a procedure in place for when he missed - I can't for the life of me remember who it was but one of the front line was detailed to give away a foul and break up play.  To be fair, Hamish was pretty nippy getting back though.
