But I am of an age where I only ever remember/saw the 80's onwards Shilton. Mainly the 86, 88 and 90's Shilton, who I feel was a the weak link in those tournaments, particularly in 86 and 90. Beaten in the air by a midget, who's arm wasn't even extended to score the Hand of God goal. And in '90 wasn't great v West Germany. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the deflected goal off of Parker, but he was terrible in the shoot out.
From what I've seen of 70's Shilton, he was a great keeper. But went on 5 years too long for England imo.
Contraversial opinion, but I think Pickford's a better 'keeper - certainly better than the 80's onwards Shilton.
My take from that was that Kolli would be involved, and not just because we're short up top, but because he's been doing what's required of him these last few weeks.
Check out the reaction of the 3-4 kids (probably about 10 years old) just to the right of the goal right at the front of The Loft when Smythy scores! Brilliant stuff!
What a baller Imps was. Class player over a period of time where we had a team oozing with class players!
I've got 2 observations from those 10 goals that have brought back some great memories.
1. The goal away to Norwich is very similar to Smythy's goal v Preston last week.
2. The goal v Part Vale, the commentator mentioned about us being down to 10 men?! I never realised that! That makes that last ditch comeback even MORE impressive! Can anyone remember who was sent off, and when?
