2. Goalkeepers going upfront in the last minute
How often do we see goalkeepers going up front for a free kick or a corner in the dying minutes when their team needs a goal? We see this happen at least twice a month, but is it ever effective? Well, almost never.
But it has happened in football when goalkeepers have actually scored or helped in scoring a goal in the dying minutes. In the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, Peter Schmeichel’s run into the box caused confusion, and in that chaos, Giggs scored.
Incidents like these make the game awesome. However, there is a better story in this regard, a much better story which I am sure none of you will ever have heard of. Go ahead, watch the video of the legendary Carlisle United keeper, Jimmy Glass.
