Steve Bruce.

No.

Ian harte? I remember he used to take free kicks and penalties for leeds

No. But on the right track.

Lescott?? Irwin??

No. No.

David Unsworth?

Yes. 38 goals, with 22 being penalties.

 

[Akmuq]

Ok then, goalkeepers scoring a goal is a rare event in football, however, it has happened in the premier league.

A point for how many times, and a point for each goalie. This should be easy now I think of it...

 

[Matty]

Tom Howard, Paul Robinson, Peter Schmiceal and David Seaman?

 

[daan]

Back to highest scoring defenders, Steve Bruce once got 19 goals in one season, but that was before the PL.

---------

I think Brad Friedel has scored.

 

[Akmuq]

Tim Howard, Paul Robinson, Peter Schmiceal and David Seaman?

First 3 are correct, Tim Howard from his 6 yard box, Paul Robinson from the sideline outside his box, Schmeichel got a volley from a corner.

I think Brad Friedel has scored.

And Friedel got a sidefooted goal from a scramble after a corner.

 

[dhandeh]

Is that it, or are there more?

 

[Matty]

I'm gonna put a wild guess at 4 goalies having scored in the last 20 years of PL football so no more needed IMO.

That's it

I'm gonna put a wild guess at 4 goalies having scored in the last 20 years of PL football so no more needed IMO.

Yup, Schmeichal, Friedal, Robinson, Howard.

 

[Matty]

Who is the highest scoring goalkeeper in any major world league, and how many goals has he scored?

 

[dhandeh]

Chilavert or Campos?

 

[Famine]

That'll be that Paraguayan guy... err... Chilavert?

 

[Matty]

Nope, Campos is 4th with Chilavert in 2nd.

 

[dhandeh]

Hans-Jorg Butt scored a few, this being one of my favourites.



That will teach him for milking it.

 

[Matty]

Nope, will check where he is though.

EDIT: He is 7th.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

I think he's Brazilian, Cerni (Not Radek) or something. Surpassed 100 a few months ago.

 

[dhandeh]

Higuita (sp) maybe?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

theres a brazilian goalie called Rogerino Ceni (spell?) i cant remember who he palys for, but i know he is a penaltly taker who has scored 60 odd goals!!

 

[dhandeh]

If goalies in Brazil can score 60 odd goals, it makes Pele's record of 600 odd, a bit arse.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I think he is in his late 40s! and i cant quite remember who he plays for.. i think its Sao paulo..

 

[Matty]

It is Ceni, he has over 100 goals.

TyrellRacing gets a point for getting it right first.

Who can guess the exact amount of goals?

And yes Sau Paulo it is he only has 2 goals from play though and 60 odd from penaltys.

 

[mp10]

Rogerio ceni, am sure its him; scored quite a few free kicks and penalties

EDIT: 101 goals

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Will guess 104. Don't know though.

Pretty sure the 100th was from a direct free kick. Can I get a bonus point for that ?

 

[Matty]

Very very close Tyrell, very very close..

 

[TyrrellRacing]

103?

 

[Matty]

103?

BOOM!

Ceni has scored 103 goals, 2 from play, 60-something from penaltys and the rest from frees.

 

[dhandeh]

I wonder how many clean sheets he has though? Probably about 6.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

What bizarre incident happens next ?

 

[dhandeh]

The ref volleys it into the top corner!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

This reminds me of a question of sport!!

 

[TyrrellRacing]

The ref volleys it into the top corner!

Unfortunately not.

This reminds me of a question of sport!!

She used to be hot in the 70's, believe it or not.
