:lol:

That would put players off taking penaltys against him!!:dopey:
 
Apart from Peter, they had proper nicknames in the '70s with guys like Ron "Chopper" Harris and (look away now, Famine) Norman "Bites yer legs" Hunter.
 
It's not Peter Bonetti, but like many players of the age, this keeper ended his career in the formerly lucrative NASL, where his nickname was also 'the cat'.

Neither is it Corrigan nor Clemence.
 
Danny John Jules?
 
daan

I wish.

Bailey, Bonetti, Jennings, Clemence, Corrigan... Who else played in goal in the 1970s?

- It was in the League Cup
- He is the record appearance holder for the club involved in the fixture
- He finished his career in the NASL

It almost sounds like an Engrish version of someone else...
 
Kevin Keegan? :confused:
 
First name definatly Kevin!
 
Kevin Keenan, but does he like Orange soda?

I think it is Kevin Keenan as Liquid said his name sounded like something english..so it looks like you were right dhandeh!
 
You're all scalding hot, but it's not Keenan and Kevin Keegan certainly was not the first man to save a penalty at Wembley.
 
Keanan or Keagen?

Stabbing in the dark here.
 
Kennan?
 
Knnnnn?

Edit - Kevin Kelvin, sounds like some piss poor acme underpants!
 
I never thought it would come to hangman...

dhandeh, you are the winner!

Kevin 'The Cat' Keelan, signed from Wrexham in 1963, is Norwich City's most experienced player with over 500 appearences. He saved a penalty in the 1975 League Cup final, predating Dave Beasant by 13 years but you know what's ironic? The striker scored the rebound and Norwich lost.

Oh well.
 
Is it Dave Beasant?
