FROM GOALKEEPER­S TO GOAL-GETTERS..

-

ENGLAND won’t ever forget Portugal’s Ricardo saving in the shootout from Darius Vassell, then stepping up next to score the decisive penalty in the Euro2004 quarter-final. But there have been other keepers famous for scoring... ŁRogerio Ceni, Brazil: Free-kick and penalty specialist, who scored 131 goals for Sao Paulo. ŁJose Luis Chilavert, Paraguay: 67 career goals, including record eight at internatio­nal level. Only keeper to score a hat-trick. ŁJorge Campos, Mexico: 46 goals, none for his country. But many scored as a striker. ŁRene Higuita, Colombia: 41 goals, three for his country. ŁJimmy Glass, Carlisle: scored just one goal, while on loan from Swindon. Stoppage-time strike saved Cumbrians from relegation out of league football in 1999.
