Doubt it Eddie, unless it was a big No 1 outside the UK (so that slightly narrows down the teams involved.... slightly :P)

Ok, clue time.

As been established, i'm a keeper, and it happened on the pitch during a match. However i was still in the wrong place, and at the wrong time, though i'm sure a fraction of a second would've made a difference to that one.


Come on, i know its a hard one, but thats what googles for when you get stuck :P (just dont tell anyone!)

 

[BoyBrumby]

Did the incident happen post-1970?

 

[Craig]

David Seaman?

 

[cpr]

Q7 (BoyBrumby) Yes it did

Craig: No. Can see what your thinking there, so a good guess.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Are you Columbian?

 

[luckyeddie]

The Columbian reference was what I was getting at - when Higuita was miles outside his area and Roger Milla stole the ball off him (Roger Miller recorded 'England Swings'). If I was right and you had 'got' the Miller reference, the next guess would have been to do with scorpions.

 

[cpr]

Q8 (BoyBrumby) No, i'm not

So that rules out eddie's thinking n all (didnt get your reference there, sorry, i'm too simple for that. That and it had nothing to do with roger milla so wasnt looking for it :P Though i did try and look it up to see who sung it)

 

[BoyBrumby]

Did you play for Peru?

 

[cpr]

Q9) Yes i did

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ramon "El Loco" Quiroga?

IIRC he Rugby-tackled some oppo player in their own half!

 

[cpr]

Correct

Only goalkeeper who's managed to get booked whilst in the opponents half of the pitch (hence the wrong place bit in the question)!!!!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ok, here's mine.

I'm the only player to have achieved this feat, although two current players could match me in Germany. Who am I & what was my achievement?

 

[luckyeddie]

Correct

Only goalkeeper who's managed to get booked whilst in the opponents half of the pitch (hence the wrong place bit in the question)!!!!

He was my next guess. Unfortunately, I was too busy coming up with the inappropriate smiley to end ALL inappropriate smileys.

 

[cpr]

And to be fair, you did a very admirable job!

Anyway, to the question

1) Are you European?
2) Is your feat to do with scoring goals?

1) No;
2) Yes.

Wild guess Maradonna and goals in a semi-final?

Otherwise I have no idea at this stage.

Q3) No.

 

[steds]

Is it to do with own goals?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Q4) No.

 

[Agent TBY]

Q5. Does it have anything to do with the Golden Boot award?
