david in sweden Posted 20 May, 2009 Share Posted 20 May, 2009 item published recently on OS pointing out that both Michael Poke AND Ian Turner (1976) both kept a clean sheet in a Wembley final. However, in the strictest sense of the word, there is another. In the 2002 Cup Final, Antti Niemi was goalie from the start and between the posts when Arsenal scored their goal. Niemi later suffered a pulled muscle in his leg and was subbed for the rest of the game by ..Paul Jones...who kept a clean sheet. So in fact the list is THREE...not two. ALSO leads into the now legendary pub quiz question ; Which goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in an FA Cup Final, but only got a losers medal ? Answer: Paul Jones !

The9 Posted 20 May, 2009 Share Posted 20 May, 2009 (edited) ALSO leads into the now legendary pub quiz question ; Which goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in an FA Cup Final, but only got a losers medal ? Answer: Paul Jones ! Um, and whoever the Man U keeper was when they lost on pens to Arsenal in the 0-0 a couple of seasons later... Roy Carroll : http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=452114 You could also add the keepers on the eventually losing side in 1886, 1911 and 1912 too, when the FA Cup Final was a 0-0 draw and required a Replay, if you were going to be superpedantic (like wot I iz sometimes). That was West Brom, Newcastle and West Brom again respectively. Ha, that's sucked all the fun out of THAT. Edited 20 May, 2009 by The9 Answer and link, and then pedantry.

The Majestic Channon Posted 20 May, 2009 Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Um, and whoever the Man U keeper was when they lost on pens to Arsenal in the 0-0 a couple of seasons later... probably van der Sar. :cool: So they lost on penalties without the keeper conceding one? wow!

It's already been pointed out that the final wasn't at Wembley However, your legendary pub quiz question is wrong anyway 1990 - Man Utd drew 3-3 with Crystal Palace with Jim Leighton in goal He was replaced by Les Sealey for the replay & won 1-0 Don't worry, I've just got back from a lunchtime session & talking rubbish mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 20 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Yes, but it was not at Wembley well spotted, but it's still worth a mention - don't you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what the last sentence is about ? If so, why post it at all ? Hell, this just got confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
