Xela Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think it is revered because back in 1970 it was an outstanding save. Goalkeepers, and players in general, were less athletic back then. Nowadays the keepers are acrobats (unless you play for Villa or are Joe Hart!) and excellent saves are far more common 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
