The penalty shoot out thread got me thinking about outfield players who went in goal when the keeper was sent off / taken off injured. Not likely to happen much these days but was common in the days of only one / two subs.
I know Mike Doyle played against Leicester away in the 70's but I wasn't at that game.
I saw with my eyes the following:
Bobby MacDonald v Watford (home) 1981
Tommy Booth v Stoke (away League cup) 1982
Steve Redmond v Palace (home) 87/88??
Nigel Gleghorn v Walsall (away) and Palace (home) 1989
Niall Quinn v Derby (home) 1991?
Have we had one since Quinny?
Wasnt there a game in the 60's when Harry Dowd was injured but didnt go off, just played outfield and scored! Who went in nets?
