It was always a criticism of Pat Jennings - that he would sometimes save with his feet, meaning the ball went back into play rather than to safety. Of course he was also known for coming a catching crosses with one hand.Originally Posted by Burney
As a child, I used to note the difference between catching goalkeepers and non-catching goalkeepers. This was obviously very naive of me, but I favoured the latter.
Shilton, Clemence, Corrigan - those boys knew how to catch a ball.
The very example I was going to use. There was always a strong suspicion that catching goalkeepers never got the love that non-catching goalkeepers do because what they do is by its nature less spectacular.
Joe Corrigan got about two England caps. He’d walk into the England team today, the big ugly cùnt.
John Lukic never got an England cap, b. Travesty. Even Nigel Spink got a run out against Australia
and gift the opposition a goal.

Nowadays, even the worst of the worst non-league pitches are infinitely better than that pitch.Imagine the weight of the accumulated mud on your boots
I remember the sound of the mud sucking at your boots when playing on that type of surface
