By far the best goalkeeper I ever watched. The gentle giant was truly a phenomenon of his time. Jennings was clearly
the bulwark of Arsenal's defense. His consistency and acumen for positioning provided the confidence defenders
needed. He is the only goalkeeper I have seen catching a cross one handed. Jennings truly provided Arsenal fans many
wonderful moments. Clearly an inspiration to many.
