Undoubtedly a great keeper, but I can't ever recall him saving a penalty. My memories of him facing a penalty involve a resigned half-hearted flop after the ball has gone into the net. Is there anybody out there who knows this drink-sodden problem gambler's record facing the 12-yarder?

1990 World Cup Final should have ****ed Shilton off and put Beasant in goal! He would have saved some penalties

It was painful watching him against the German Pens in 1990
Paul Cooper (Ipswich) was the penalty master of Shilton's Era |

By:
He prob dived the right way for every penalty in that final. Five mins after the net bulged

Looking it up , Cooper saved 8/10 Pens in 1979/80

Didnt Gary Bailey save 3 penalties for United against Ipswich but still let in 8 in one game?
|

By:
Shilton said in an interview that he had a technique where he watched the angle of the takers hip or something and he could tell where it was going to go as he kicked it. Obviously that was too late as he was never that agile and while he dived the right way, he never stood a chance unless the penalty was centre or marginally off centre.

Nothing surpasses Scott Carson barely getting near, never mind saving any of the 16 penalties
the Dutch took in the U21 semi-final 5 years ago. Woodwork and Waddle-esque space flight contributed to the 3 they missed |

Shilton was useless. But he was still better than Clemence. The amount of games the latter cost Tottenham is terrifying.

last Irish Cup final went to Pens and the sligo manager put the sub goalie on instead, saved about 3
Beasant saved one famously in the 88 cup final so couldnt have done much worse than Shilts |

Why did ray clemence leave Liverpool......have to ask UKManillia about that one
|

I remember seeing an interview with another player from the 1990 squad who said that Shilton had had a conversation with him, during which Shilton had said that in a penalty shoot-out he was going to wait to see which way the ball was kicked before moving. That was his strategy against Germany.

He roomed with lineker I believe it was he who has said that. Tbf although shilts only made token efforts at making those penalty saves, they were all near perfect in the corner penaltys, the strategy didn't work but had one or two just blasted it down the middle then maybe it would have. don't think he could have done a lot more or beasant for that matter.

used to stretch himself on the bannisters when he was younger to make himself taller.........did f*** all for his pen technique.
he wasn't much better at free kicks. in fact, what was he good at? |

My two best mates ended up having a fight on the way home from the pub that night one a forest fan blaming shilts the other a derby fan blaming physco, we still lol about it now  |

By:
He saved 1 penalty in his 125 England appearances from Andy Brehme in a win against West Germany.
His peak eas with Forest in the late 70s. |
|
By:
1977/78 forest conceded 24 goals in 42 games shilts didn't sign until after the first 3 when john Middleton prob let in a few, shilts prob conceded about 18 in 39 thus why he got Pfa player of he year.

did a good save from mick ferguson at highfield road once.

Vastly overrated keeper and next to useless whenever facing a spot kick. He was utterly dreadful at trying to save one, cannot remember a miss v him!

Just been watching a few YouTube clips, never realised how much he looked liked Fred West in his younger days
