It is impossible to judge people from different eras but that doesn't stop anyone having a go of course so who is the better keeper Pat Jennings or Hugo Lloris?

Pat Jennings or Hugo Lloris?


For those of you who never saw Jennings he was regarded and rated as the best keeper in the world at one point, even ahead of the great Gordon Banks. Jennings was a phenomenon, he's pluck the ball out of the air with one hand, scored against Manchester United and won trophies with Spurs.

I'm delighted to have reached agreement to show and bring you videos from Spurs TV, their latest offering being on Pat Jennings. It's great to hear the commentary of Brian Moore again as well as seeing Jennings in action.



Both are tremendous keepers but I grew up watching Pat Jennings and for me he is the best I've seen, Tottenham were fortunate to have and still have, such a true legend of the game at the club.

Patrick "Pat" Anthony Jennings OBE born 12 June 1945 in Newry, County Down.

He played 119 games for Northern Ireland.

Cost Spurs £27,000 from Third Division Watford at the end of the 1964 season.

Jennings spent 13 years at White Hart Lane, playing 472 league games and 596 in all competitions.

He won the FA Cup in 1967, the League Cup in 1971 and 1973, and the UEFA Cup in 1972.
In 1973 the Football Writers' Association named him as its footballer of the year, three years later he won PFA's version of the award, how many goalkeepers achieve that feat?

Thinking he was coming to the end of his career we sold him to Arsenal in 1977, a huge mistake, he went on to play 327 times for them and retire in 1985. Obviously it wasn't the brightest decision the club have ever made.
