Peter Shilton - England (1) v (0) Scotland, May 19 1973
On the 19 May, 1973, the old enemies, England and Scotland met at Wembley in the (now no more) Home International Championship. The England goalkeeper, one Peter Leslie Shilton, made this phenomenal save, which will live on long in the memory of all England fans who were there at the time.
England won the game 1-0, which makes this special save all the more important: it was a match winner.
Peter Shilton would later become England’s first choice keeper for many years, finally finishing his international career well after his fortieth birthday.
