Hendon have been blessed with so many great goalkeepers over the years as well as John Swanell.

Here are my top half-dozen, before Tom (this excludes keepers who were with us for less than three months ? i.e. Joe McDonnell).

? Mike Pinner, who played for Hendon and Manchester United, as an amateur, in the old First Division (top flight)
? Mark Broughton, who was the goalkeeper who helped to keep us up in 1985?86 (for those who were there, remember his save just before half-time in the last game at Slough!)
? Dave Root, loyal servant and so good when a transfer tribunal valued him, they priced him out of the market.
? Scott Ashcroft, whose career was cut short.
? Gary McCann, another top keeper whose career was curtailed by injury.
? Richard Wilmot, top bloke as well as an insanely brave goalkeeper ? played 15 minutes with a broken arm.
