An average day for Gary Sprake. Remember him throwing the ball into his own net? John Sewell benefitted from his generosity too.

Wasn’t so much Sprake throwing the ball into the net, he went to catch the ball under the cross bar and it went straight through his hands. I was behind the goal and couldn’t believe it 🙂

Yes that one he just missed but he threw the ball into the net against Liverpool and the Kop sang Careless Hands to him. He dived over the ball on occasion too - for a team as ruthless as Leeds were he could be a bit of a liability.
 
Wonder what the odds are for 'goalkeeper to throw ball in his own net' (asking for a friend who lives in Saudi) 😉

Back in 1970 Chelsea v Leeds(i know) Sprake kicked the ball upfield only for David Webb(i believe) to volley the ball straight back & into the goal, remember watching that on the 'Big Match' 😀

Joe Corrigan of Man City suffered a similar fate in a match against West Ham. He kicked the ball out from the edge of his area, turned round to retreat to his goal only to see the ball sail over his head into the net.

Seen a different angle of this now and he is so unlucky. The shot through get's a little nick of a Leeds player and makes the ball spin like it's been bowled by Shane Warne. It then hits the turf in front of him, turns into a perfect googly and goes down the side of him.

Anyone remember the Rangers goal v Auxerre in '93 Champs Lge?
When a harmless cross bounced just outside the 6 yard box, hit a divot and completely changed direction into the goal!

Ah, Bruce Grobbelar & the balloon.
 
This one is perhaps a little unfair to blame on the keeper, but many of you will recall Paul Robinson's look of horror in an England game in Croatia (2006) when an innocent looking backpass from Gary Neville was rolling along the ground towards Robinson. The hapless keeper took swing at the ball to clear, but it met a divot at the last moment , took an upward change of trajectory, and went over Robisnson's boot and into the net.
 
I remember Paul Barron making a routine save and as he hit the deck he let go of the ball and it rolled in, I can’t remember who against or whether it was home or away.

Sympathy for Robinson as Neville should've known better than passing the ball back between the posts on a dodgy pitch!
 
Henderson in no man's land for the Everton goal.
I just want goalies to stop goals. I'm fed up with them being sweeping/attackers/ball players.
Had Henderson been in goal, it was an easy save.

Absolutely. There was a comment last season from some "pundit" on a goalkeeper who,
"is excellent. His only weakness is his shot stopping".
