Was watching the Ireland game and seen Shay Given in the French penalty area late on. Just wondered if we've ever had anyone doing that, I'm sure it must have happened a few times but just can't remember who? Think Maka would be great at it.

I would have thought the defender would have every bit as good a chance at getting on the end of something as the keeper but goalies always seem to think 'they' can be the heroes.

Stack coming just two yards off his line for a corner would be a good start..............
:wink:
Goram never needed to, he scored from his own box or the penalty spot - never saw him up for a corner :agree:
pretty sure gottskalkson did it once or twice but never scored.
