1. Outstanding goal, now how about the best save ever?

Sure everyone on this forum has seen it, but worth another look.

Colombia vs. England friendly in 1995, at Wembley no less ...

7. Pure showmanship

Nothing more. Remeber the game well, and it needed something like that to wake it up.

Now, the real greatest save...

8. I hoped it would be Banks before I clicked on the link

Too true oldironside!

There is a terrible dearth of talent among English goalkeepers at the moment. The days of a Banks, Clemence or Shilton are long gone sadly.

THAT Gordon Banks save just keeps getting better no matter how often you see it.

9. Agreed.

I read an interview with him once where he said the last thing he thought before he dived was:
"Err, I could be in trouble here."

The golden era is gone. I remember when our 1,2,3 was Shilton, Clements, Corrigan. Not a bad trio.

Robert Green may be the best of the current bunch (he does, after all, get plenty of practice at my beloved West Ham), otherwise it's Man U#s number 3 or Calamity James. Oh, dear.

2. I'm partial to Messi's "Super Gol" vs Getafe

5. Messi goal

is almost exactly like a Maradona goal, same run Messi must have watched it as a kid.

6. Problem was.....

Roberto Carlos thought he could replicate that goal. People expected it of him. He went through a little purple patch and then spent his entire career trying to score THAT goal again, with gradually more depressing results. The number of times a free-kick was wasted because Roberto Carlos skied the ball out of the stadium was extraordinary.

Still, it was a great goal.....

The Wembley Stadium save was hilarious. I saw that match live. It turned out to be one of the more memorable moments of Jamie Redknapp's sadly injury-curtailed England career. Higuita certainly knew how to liven up a dull friendly!
