he 100 percent did, saved a becks pen, in the 2-1 defeat

Not in a shootout, in normal time Powelly

The five are:

David Batty's penalty was saved by Carlos Roa in 1998
Gareth Southgate hit it straight at Andreas Kopke in 1996
Bodo Illgner saved Stuart Pearces in 1990
Buffon saved Ashley Coles penalty in 2012
Ricardo saved three penalties for Portugal in 2006

Sorry, it is shoot out's.

My post did say shoot but I forgot to mention 'out'.........my bad.

Sussex has all five

Funny fact for you about Carlos Roa.

He was a seventh day Adventist, and not long after the penalty save he told his club of the time, Mallorca, that he was not going to sign a contract for the 1999-2000 season on the basis that he was moving to a farm in the Argentine countryside to wait for the end of the world, which he believed would come when the millennium struck.

He moved his family there to wait for the end of the world, and when he realised nothing happened, phoned Mallorca to beg for his job back.

On returning to Mallorca he had a medical that confirmed he had cancer, and he retired again.

I got Kopke right. The only one I could remember (can't ever forget it sadly).

gutted that QPR have been promoted

nothing against QPR, you understand, I just can't bear the thought of all the media/'Arry luv in cr@p. It'll take the press about 5 mins after the end of England's 9 day WC, for the 'Arry for England shite to start again. Thank goodness I don't have sky any more. Not sure I could cope with a deadline day bonanza from the side of 'Arry's car.

What a ponce

and what a way to do your team's football business

EEjit!

Arry will be gone by Xmas with QPR rooted to the foot of the PL.

Good, but I don't think it is perfect. To my mind, Ricardo actually saved a fourth - Vassell in Euro 2004. (Beckham blazed his over, but I recall Vassell having his saved).

And also, I recall Ince having his saved by Roa in 1998 (as opposed to missing the target).

Any manager can win the SPL with Celtic.
