The worst keeper in Leeds United‘s history

Kiko the clown 🤡

When you factor in
1/ his wages
2/ longevity at the club
3/ games he imploded in that had a massive impact on ruining our 19/20 season
4/ the racial issue

Other notable contenders
Wiedwald
Rachubka

For me Kiko wins it.

Wiedwald technically i think was on a par but didn’t cost the club millions in wages.
Rachubka just never got the chance to react to what was probably the worst Gk performance ever in a Leeds shirt.

What amazes me is the fact he dosnt have the basics to even be a goalkeeper. Stand up tall at near post or keep going to ground and being beaten over and over at near post? Stand up tall against attackers one on one or dive early and make their finish really easy? Radebe was a better keeper ffs!!

The second goal is diabolical, really. One of the worst attempt at goalkeeping I have seen in a long time.

He was a good keeper most of the time but made some absolute howlers, especially when he threw the ball into his own net- in front of the Kop of all places. The title of his biography is a little bit of a vlue as well - Carelesd Hands.

Some of you should quit with the retaliatory racism abuse.

Your pillorying of Kiko is becoming two faced.

Another viewoint, that no one cares if you co

If Kiko says he’s not racist, and Marcelo backs himself, then I’m more inclined to believe him than a bunch if prejudiced PC hacks at the FA.

Bear in mind that some people actually know the culture from which Kiko and Marcelo have come; trust me, many are not particularly impressed with the British of Latino players. It’s a clash of cultures guys, one that took me a long time to adapt to.

After 14 years, one learns to know the difference between a racist and a culture. I accept most of you are not familiar and prefer to judge by your own cultural standards, when it is convenient to do so.

At this stage, I don’t give a damn about the replies...but for me they are only serving to prove the point, and frankly some of you go on and on about Kiko at every opportunity and it gets boring.

I can see why the he wouldn’t even feel motivated any longer.

Not justifying his poor performance, but I see a guy shaking his head at how utterly two faced and ignorant some of the fans are being when handing out their own slights.

The difference is, Kiko is not going to start labelling some of you as racists or bigots.

It was carefully worded “the racial issue” and 4th on the list.

Take it off and he still stinks as the worst keeper ever.

Bielsa’s fking bucket would have saved that second shot standing as tall as it could.

Let's have a bit of context ref Gary Sprake...

I saw him play many, many times....he was a good goalkeeper imo, especially catching the ball from corners, free kicks, centres....a good shot stopper, yes he did make the odd mistake....so what most keepers do!

I found myself at the left edge of the Anfield kop on a particularly cold, snowy Saturday...should the game have been played in snowy conditions?
I was glad it was because I had travelled by train from Leeds

Completely agree with OP.

Surely Kiko needs to go now ... I know, he’s milking a living atm and therefore won’t, but it doesn’t stop me wanting it.

Continued....

Sprake picked the ball up on the edge of penalty area, he couldn't get a proper grip on the ball, due to the cold and snow....the ball flew out of his grip and into top corner of the net. I had a great view, a great angle of Sprake own goal.
On reflection, yes rather careless but understandable how it could happen in very cold conditions.

Gary Sprakes performance in Hungary won us a fairs cup and speak to some of the Revie team and they will tell you he’s the best keeper we’ve had.
