Who was that keeper who played a cup final with a broken arm?
Don't know how good he was, but deserves respect.
Other than that, Peter Shilton - was playing till nearly 50yo wasn't he?
Bert Troutman broke his neck in an F.A. Cup final, and played on.

I dont know the best but the ugliest was surely Dave Ryan of Northwich Victoria circa 1988

Ask the Romanian penalty kickers.....🙂
If the player scores, he did only the obligacion.
If not, he was a moron.
The GK haven´t nothing to lose.
About call Ravelli as 'Swedish Clown', it´s because
the WC 94 semifinals when, during the game,
before Romário scores, a Brazilian player kicks the
ball too far, and Ravelli, looking for a camera, did a
great smile, running and jumping. I was nervous seeing
the game live on TV. When Ravelli did it, I talked:
'What a [censored] clown!!!'
You can imagine my screams during the goal and after
the full time... 🙂
Thomas Ravelli was great, but not the best.
