Best save by a Blade keeper I have seen

I think it was Teemu Pukki who went through one on one with Deano at BL in 2018 and Deano made a superb stop.

Rammers towards end of last season made a couple of worldies.

Hendo vs Liverpool at anfield to deny salah.

 

[SotonBlade]

Gage should have stopped the cross

 

[N20 Blade]

Didn’t the Liverpool kip give him a great ovation at the end? As said in another thread recently, he really was outstanding and with a bit of luck could have played regularly for England.
Generally I find recalling top saves much harder than great goals.
It’s more performances for me like Alan Kelly v the pigs in the semi. It could have been embarrassing.

 

[Caveblade]

Hit it straight at him!

Kelly at Wembley probably the best display of goalkeeping I have ever seen.

 

[Billyblade]

Mel Rees against Everton at Goodison pulled off a Gordon Banks/Pele style save

 

[Paisley Blade]

The triple save Henderson made v Norwich March 2020 get my vote.

 

[ben1987]

Dean Henderson V Lee Evans…

oh wait….

 

[originaltrueblade]

Hodgkinson all the time.....lucky to have witnessed it

 

[Geordie Blade]

As soon as I read the thread title, that was the save that came to my mind. As N20 Blade said, the Kop (scouse version) gave him a standing ovation at the end - and the next time he played there too.

I bet most Blades would have the same answer for the best save against us.

Against who?

That was my first thought when I saw the thread title. Plenty of competition though

Thought his save against Cantwell at Carrow Road was better

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

I seem to remember another save in that match which bettered the one you have highlighted. Again it was at the Kop end, when he somehow twisted in mid air to react to a deflection on a shot he was already committed to save.

Moore vs Wednesday at the lane, 17/18 season

 

[ancientblade]

Hit it straight at him!

Kelly at Wembley probably the best display of goalkeeping I have ever seen.

agreed we would have been beaten 5 - 1 that day but for alan kelly

This thread is about the greatest save. So which one and post the footage please!

 

[Wards]

Seem to remember Tracey pulling off a similar stop at West Ham in a cup tie.
Great on his day albeit I thought he went massively downhill towards the mid/late 90s when he piled a bit of weight on.

Henderson’s at Liverpool takes some beating.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UTB

 

[Nedski]

I always remember an Alan Kelly save vs Barnsley, I think we drew 2-2 after being 2-0 down.

A header went over him and in a fraction of a second he managed to dive backwards, full stretch, and tip it over the bar. He had no right to save that one, it was incredible

 

[Digs blade]

One of the best saves I’ve ever seen from any goalie

Spunky?

Mel Rees against Everton at Goodison pulled off a Gordon Banks/Pele style save

Whenever people mention goalkeepers, this has to be top of my list.
What a game he had that day. I reckon that he eclipsed Kelly and Tracey that day. And I thought they were excellent keepers.

 

[Blade for Sale]

I was at Anfield for that match, their kop was up and celebrating the goal, it was a magnificent save. Tracey epitomised the notion that you have to be a bit mad to be a keeper. I remember in the 3-1 win at Hillsborough he fell into their kop chasing a ball which ended with him and their fans swinging fists at each other. A few secs later there's footage of him walking towards their kop preparing to take a goal kick with the most sarcastic smirk you've ever seen on his face . He was a proper Bassett player.

 

[Weasel]

I remember Kelly pulling of some incredible saves in a match away at Tranmere (I think we might have won after we were outplayed for most of the game) whilst I also remember Tracey pulling some sublime stops off in the 2nd half at home to Charlton in the FA Cup replay early 90s (won 3-1) after Utd were 3 nil up early doors and then thr team buggered off early to leave Tracey to pull off a goalkeeping masterclass all by himself. After save after incredible save he was finally beaten late on for their consolation. Both of these stick in my mind for incredible keepers performances.

 

[Auld Reekie Blade]

No particular save stands out but Alan Kelly’s performance against the pigs in the Semi. It would have been a cricket score without his display.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Against who?

Too many to mention Silent and the ball was five times heavier

 

[wizadry]

That save towards the end of this clip was one of the best saves you’re ever likely to see, to get down to that shot at that pace and palm it wide is different gravy. Baldocks goal was sublime too.
