The Manchester City ’keeper made history when he became the first number one to score with a drop-kick on April 14, 1900. Sunderland’s Teddy Doig was the unfortunate man beaten at the other end.
PAT JENNINGSThe Northern Irelander was one of the world’s finest ’keepers in his day but he also famously scored in the 1967 Charity Shield. Playing for Tottenham, Jennings unleashed a giant kick out of his hands which bounced over Manchester United’s Alex Stepney and into the net.
PETER SCHMEICHELThe great Dane scored 13 goals in his career, the most famous being Manchester United’s equaliser from a corner in a UEFA Cup tie against Rotor Volgograd in 1996.
MART POOMIn September 2003, Sunderland’s Mart Poom grabbed a dramatic equaliser against his old club Derby, heading in Sean Thornton’s corner deep in stoppage time.
PAUL ROBINSONPaul Robinson headed a last-minute equaliser for Leeds against Swindon in the Carling Cup in 2003 and four years later he scored in the closing stages of Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Watford in the Premier League with a free-kick 75 yards from goal. The ball bounced in front of Hornets ’keeper Ben Foster and went over his head and into the net.
JOSE LUIS CHILAVERTParaguayan Chilavert was well known for his expertise at free-kicks and penalties, and memorably curled home a set-piece against Argentina in 1998. He also became the first ’keeper to score a hat-trick when he achieved the feat for Velez Sarsfield against Ferro Carril Oeste.
BRAD FRIEDELIn February 2004, in an away game against Charlton where Blackburn were defeated 3-2, Friedel scored a goal from open play in the 90th minute to level the game — only for Claus Jensen to net an even later winner for the Addicks.
