Following on from our post on September 07 2009 "How to REALLY" save Penalties...!" http://warbygk.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-really-save-penalties.html We can proudly announce that we have only gone and done it yet again!
Ian Dunbavin from Accrington Stanley FC wore our Portiere Pro Annata Adesivo for the first time on Saturday against Chesterfield FC and promptly lived upto the our tradition of saving a penalty on their WarbyGK Goalkeeper Gloves debut. Admittedly Bavs was the one that caused the Penalty in the 85th minute, but maybe he'd already read the Blog and knew that he'd be safe and fancied grabbing the headlines! Sadly Chesterfield scored in the 91st minute to ruin his day, but watching his reaction to the save both on The Football League Show on BBC1 and also on the BBC iPlayer shows just how much it meant to him, and I embarrassingly admit to jumping up and down (well more hopping - bad knee and all that!) with him in my living room.
More of our goalkeepers were on show on Tuesday night in the Johnstones Paint Trophy. Adam Collin came out victorious in Carlisle United's 4-2 win over Macclesfield to maintain his good run in the JPT, and Darlington's Nick Liversedge put in a great performance in their 2-1 defeat to Leeds United at Elland Road, although he received a debateable Red Card in the 94th minute to prematurely end his debut leaving midfielder Jeff Smith to wear then wear WarbyGK - two debuts in one game! Luckily for Leeds though the contact was outside the box as obviously Jeff Smith would have inevitably saved the penalty anyway!
