Pat Jennings - Amazing one handed save

wallyback · Jan 24, 2013

Currently reading a book called the outsider - the history of goalkeepers.

A wonderful read. Came out just recently.

The Outsider: A History of the Goalkeeper: Amazon.co.uk: Jonathan Wilson: Books

One of the keepers it featured is Pat Jennings. Talking about his unconventional style and the size of his hands.

Take a look a the video at 10 seconds. Amazing one handed collection of a cross!

One of the greatest ever keepers, to think Arsenal signed him on a 'free' from Spurs!!!!!

He was one of the best. I thought the back peddling save by The Pole in Goal at Blackburn the other night, was pretty special too.

No gloves, great keeper!

Fantastic goalkeeper, my childhood idol when I was an aspiring 'keeper.

Who did Spurs replace him with? Barry Daines?

In my lifetime, the top 3 keepers have been:

1. Southall
2. Jennings
3. Schmeichel

I shook hands with him once. It was like putting my hand in a box

It's easy to catch the ball one handed, when one hand envelops the whole ball.

Ha! Ha! Yes, who was the Spurs manager who let him go? Burk.....inshaw? I guess Terry Neil must have signed him for Arsenal

As said before my first experience of football was mid 70's Highbury.

Pat Jennings still seemed like a dwarf compared to Willie Young.

Same for me, when I started out in the old onion bag.

Anyone spot an Albion connection in those clips?

As an aside, my favourite book as a kid was one called "Goalkeepers are Different" by Brian Glanville. Really got across the life of a goalkeeper/footballer in that era, the 60s/70s. Would recommend it to any football fan if you can find it.

I'd never even considered that before! I was mildly shocked to say the least.

One of the best from a great era of goalkeepers - Shilton, Jennings, Clemence, Corrigan, Banks... Why can't we produce good goalies in this country anymore? Think of some of the awful ones that have played for England in recent years...

Spanish Seagulls · Jan 25, 2013

My favourite keeper ever. Take note of his cool manner after making a save rather than todays keepers who yell & scream at their defenders for letting someone get a shot in. Pat loved his work.
