Pilchards Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Got talking to someone about the best penalty saver at our club and it seems to him that Kelvin Davis has the best record. Anyone else agree or have I missed someone who could normally stop them hitting our own net.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Boruc versus Norwich was a good penalty save in isolation.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 I don't know if the stats back it up but I always felt Niemi had a chance because of the spring in his feet whenever he would dive to make a save.
stevegrant Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Statistically, I would assume Davis has made the most penalty saves as a Saints keeper, but part of that will naturally be down to the number of games he's played for us. It would be interesting to see if the "penalties saved vs penalties faced" ratio is available somewhere.
The9 Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Statistically, I would assume Davis has made the most penalty saves as a Saints keeper, but part of that will naturally be down to the number of games he's played for us. It would be interesting to see if the "penalties saved vs penalties faced" ratio is available somewhere. He's also played more games against worse players... don't make me post those stat links about penalties not being a lottery again.
Pilchards Posted 28 October, 2015 Author Posted 28 October, 2015 What is the last penalty save other than tonight?
rpb Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Shilton? Not sure that he ever saved one. There was a goalie (Eric Martin?) who saved two in one game (might have been a retaken one - I can't trust my memory) against QPR many moons ago.
Hatch Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Shilts was crap at penalties as I seem to remember
VectisSaint Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Dave Beasant always had a reputation for penalty saves, but don't recall whether he ever saved one for us.
Lets B Avenue Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Not sure that he ever saved one. There was a goalie (Eric Martin?) who saved two in one game (might have been a retaken one - I can't trust my memory) against QPR many moons ago. QPR. 19/1/74. 2-2 draw. The twice taken penalty was missed by our old friend, Terry Venables.
Lighthouse Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Statistically, I would assume Davis has made the most penalty saves as a Saints keeper, but part of that will naturally be down to the number of games he's played for us. It would be interesting to see if the "penalties saved vs penalties faced" ratio is available somewhere. Bart saved one in the 6-0 at Molly, which might be the only pen he faced for us but I'm not sure on that.
Saint_Jonny Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Bart saved one in the 6-0 at Molly, which might be the only pen he faced for us but I'm not sure on that. Don't forget the epic JPT shootout against Norwich! He saved 2 or 3 that night - sublime
Lighthouse Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Don't forget the epic JPT shootout against Norwich! He saved 2 or 3 that night - sublime Good shout, I'd forgotten that until you reminded me, pulled off a proper Banks/Pele for one of them.
Pilchards Posted 28 October, 2015 Author Posted 28 October, 2015 Has Forster saved one yet for us? You would think at 6 ft 5 and ugly as a bat he would certainly put anyone off.
rpb Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 QPR. 19/1/74. 2-2 draw. The twice taken penalty was missed by our old friend, Terry Venables. You are good! Was it Eric Martin?
paulwantsapint Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Bruce grobbalaar saved 3 & forced a miss 94/95
Saintsteve7 Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Neil Moss made a cracking penalty save away to Sunderland against a certain Kevin Philips I believe?!
kwsaint Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 You are good! Was it Eric Martin? Yes. I was at that game. Channon equalised late on direct from a corner.
Viking Warrior Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Le Tiss in the Benali benefit match saved a stunner of Penalty
explorer saint Posted 28 October, 2015 Posted 28 October, 2015 Tim Flowers against Everton i think Milton end cracking save .. Eric Martin saved a few too
Badger Posted 29 October, 2015 Posted 29 October, 2015 Terry Genoe saved one at Everton 1978, between then and the LC Final we thought Lawrie had unearthed a gem , but it all crashed pretty quickly after that.
sussexsaint Posted 29 October, 2015 Posted 29 October, 2015 I know it was a weak penalty kick but this was the save I celebrated most, all those keepie up pies he did on the way to the spot. Glad I was there. Good night
The9 Posted 29 October, 2015 Posted 29 October, 2015 Shilts was crap at penalties as I seem to remember He was probably ok at them before Italia '90 when he was knocking 40, but he was diabolical at them there.
Chez Posted 29 October, 2015 Posted 29 October, 2015 Kelvins penalty saving record during our rise back up the leagues was unbelievable. There was a period when he seemed to save almost every one. Less talented takers than in the top flight of course, but still outstanding.
Nick65 Posted 29 October, 2015 Posted 29 October, 2015 Remember Campbell Forsyth saving one against Liverpool in 1967, almost exactly a year after breaking his leg in the same fixture. Might have been his only one, but hey, quality not quantity, right?
Lets B Avenue Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Gerry Gurr saved one on his debut at home to Leicester. 4-4 draw January1967.
positivepete Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Neil Moss made a cracking penalty save away to Sunderland against a certain Kevin Philips I believe?! was it Neil Moss who saved the penalty against 'Boro and Ravenelli? If I recall this game was also notable for the injury to Robbie Slater and the introduction of Matt Oakley who had a stuuning match
