It's been 29 years since René Higuita announced himself on the global stage with this display against Yugoslavia at Italia 90. Excellently eccentric.

Today marks the 27th anniversary of UEFA's last competitive fixture before the back-pass rule was introduced.
Fair to say Peter Schmeichel's Denmark went out in style. This is classic.

James Trafford at the U21 Euros:
⛔️ Didn’t concede a single goal
❌ First goalkeeper in tournament history to keep six successive clean sheets
🧤 Saved a penalty in stoppage time to bag the trophy
Not bad at all. 👏👏👏

Look at the clock. ⏰👀
Huge save from Jack Stevens of Oxford United.
That is now 10 clean sheets in the 18 league games he's played this season. ⛔️

Wolves loanee
@louie_moulden
bagged another two assists for Rochdale yesterday.
That is now 5️⃣ assists for the season so far. FIVE.
Incredible. 🎯

This guy had barely made 30 EFL appearances before joining Coventry in 2019.
Now, at 30, he’s one game away from being a Premier League goalkeeper.
Ben Wilson. What a story. 😃

🗒️ "Now scientific data supports the idea that goalies’ brains really do perceive the world differently – they appear to merge signals from the different senses more quickly, possibly underpinning their unique abilities on the football pitch."

On this very day in 1993, Mark Crossley became the first and only man in history to stop
@mattletiss7
scoring from the penalty spot.
4⃣9⃣ TAKEN
4⃣8⃣ SCORED
JUST 1⃣ SAVED.
Get in,

Gary Neville needs to calm down a touch.
It’s an error from Matt Turner, but “useless” and “scandal” is strong - and he was nowhere near as scathing with United’s backline for the opener.
#NOTMUN
Sorry, but having referees single out goalkeepers to act out what they can and cannot do when facing a penalty, moments before they’re due to face a penalty, is not in the interests of the game.
The law has been made abundantly clear. Let them focus.
#NEDJPN
Seems like all the Rob Green focus has been on one trophy lift right at the end of his career, so here be one minute of saves from his time at QPR and Leeds. 👊
#GKUnion
Heaton's move to Villa is tough on Jed Steer, but he'll only benefit from observing this sort of training next season. Onwards and upwards. ➡️⬆️
#GKUnion
Seriously solid from Nick Pope tonight.
Saves speak for themselves, as does his dominance of the 18-yard box.
Fine way to see in his 100th start for the club. Bravo. 👊
#LIVBUR
Oh, the audacity of it.
On this day 21 years ago, Dean Saunders committed this despicable act of outrageousness on Port Vale's Paul Musselwhite. He's yet to be charged. 😠
#SUFC
💬 "There was no celebration. I'd never do that to another goalie."
💬 "I've not meant it and I think we have that kind of unwritten rule, that secret goalkeepers' union."
Tom King after his goal against Cheltenham. 👊
#GKUnion
💬 "The number of times I've sat here and his place in the team has been questioned.
"He's constantly delivered for us."
