WOBBLY GROBBELY

On this day,30th May 1984, the year before the Heysel disaster, Liverpool FC had won the European Cup (as it was called then) thanks in no small part to their eccentric goalkeeper, Bruce Grobbelaar. Roma was their opponent and the match played at the Olimpico, Roma's home ground. The score was level at 1-1 after extra time and so penalties were needed which pulled back the curtains for the "clown" goalie!! Don't drop it Brucie!

Bruce used his spaghetti legs routine to distract the opponents penalty takers. Not sportsmanlike? Not against the laws assuning that the goalie did not moving his position until the ball left the penalty spot! It seemed to work as Bruno Conti and Franceso Gaziani both missed their spot kicks and Bruce said, "People sair I was being disrespectful to their players, but I was just testing tyheir concentration under pressure, I guess they failed the test."
