oafcshuck Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Has always been Grant's at Hartlepool. To be honest that's the only one that sticks in my memory, but when I saw it last night Ruddy's looked just as good. They worked it well in the box, looked destined to find the top corner and Ruddy tipped it over out of nowhere. Confidence save and a save at 1-0 that was huge. What's the best Latics save you'e ever seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the best Latics save you'e ever seen? All 3 from Pogs 2 against City in FA Cup - kept out a long Wright Phillips shot which just looked amazing. The second and arguably the more harder to save a point blank pikedriver from Sibierski. Reactions out of this world. The third was in his second spell with us which was nowhere near as strong pre back injury (curse you Adrian Little-John), but we were 1-0 up at home to Ronnie Moores Tranmere and in the last minute one of their players unleashed a shot which looked a Worldly into the top corner the moment it left the lads boot. Pogs just appeared from no where with an acrobatic dive that caught the thing perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The one that haunts me is Steve Sutton from Roger Palmer's back header that also moved it out of the path of Neil Adams, in the 90 League Cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityGrave Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Although he is one of the worst 'keepers in recent memory , A Cornell save in the 1-1 draw @ home to Wigan was superb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I remember many years ago Harry Dowd at Crewe arching his back to turn over the crossbar a Stan Bowles point blank blockbuster. One of our best was Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ball came across Pogs was outside his front post, Furlong Im sure it was smashed it in the corner and Pogs somehow got a cross full span to save it. i was directly behind that on about row 2 that night and was in absolute awe of the big aussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectOzblue Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yeah, I was stuck in the corner with a terrible view near the piss-throwing QPR fans but even from there it looked a worldie. Hallworth's chase back and push away away at WBA was brilliant. Not brilliant as such, but Gary Kelly's two penalty saves v City - one from Kinkladze at home when we beat them 2-1 in the otherwise awful relegation season of 96/97 and the one from Gareth Taylor when we beat them 2-1 at Maine Road a couple of years later - were sweet as well.
