Just from reading the thing there about Ryan Esson leading the POTY poll as things stand (and IMO he'll probably, deservedly win the lot), has got me wondering, is Ryan Esson the best ever ICT keeper? Obviously there other ones that also stand out - Mark Brown was a good shot stopper and very good player for the club over a number of years but his kicking and what not wasn't the best. Also, he hadn't a clue about what to do with penalties. Of course the other one that comes to mind is Jim Calder. A very good keeper and excellent penalty stopper and IMO is the only one who can challenge Esson for the mantle. The fact that he was a bit of showman too also helped endear himself to the fans. Could he have played at SPL level though? That's the thing. Obviously Tuffey is a good keeper as well, but he hasn't had enough games (not yet anyway). But is there anyone else really of any note? Zibi? McRichie? Fraser? Walker? Fridge!!?? Of course none of this lot were half as good as Esson, so that begs the question - Ryan Esson, is the he ICT's best ever goalie?

Interesting fact (almost)...

The same night we beat The Pars 4-1 on penalties, Livingston beat Aberdeen in the league cup at Pittodrie, 6-1.

A certain B.Wilson scoring 2 and D.Bingham getting another, Darren Mackie got the Dons only goal.

And in goal for the Dons that night?...

A Mr. R.Esson.

A funny old game eh!
