I dont know why the OP is getting so much shit. Shilton was f***ing woeful in Italia 90, our weakest link. No danger of him ever saving a penalty either.
The best keeper in the Tournament was Goicochea of Argentina who was their reserve, Pumpido (first choice) broke his leg in the first match so was replaced. Goicochea then went on to save 2 or 3 pens in 2 separate shoot outs, or at least save a couple of pens during patches as well as in a shoot out. Nowt ever came of him like for some reason.
Not slating the team at all. Do try to read.Get to the semis of a World Cup & we still get slated
fuck off
Ohh hark at youNot slating the team at all. Do try to read.
It's a quality teamThe '90 England side would have pissed over the current set up without any doubt.
called given an opionion
Whose giving the op grief like
You're an idiot.
Looking at the Italia '90 team, the weakest player was by far the keeper. Was Shilton ever any good or was he just finished by this time?
Just about to post this, he nearly gets to every one. He may have been at the end of his career in 1990 but was our best keeper and one of the best around still.Watch the shoot out and Shilton goes the right way on every German pen just a shame they were so clinical .
Quick look at Wikipedia. He played a lot of games. Was at fault for us losing to Poland and not making the World Cup '74. Lost the League Cup in '80 after running in to his own player. Got outjumped by shortarse Maradona in '86. Was at fault in '90 for the deflected goal and failed to save any penalties despite guessing right for 4 of them showing his lack of agility. Good thinking, you're right, not that good in his later years.Two things astonish me about this thread
1 That the op needs to ask the question ~ one look at wikipedia would have answered it
2 That people would take it seriously and demonstrate the Shilton was indeed fairly decent.
Think I'll start a thread about Pele ~ was he any good? Just to see how many replies I get.
He was 40 in Italia 90, played for England for over 15 years, won league title and European cups.
Should have been subbed for Beasant for the penalty shoot out by Bobby Robson, mind...
Certainly the daftest question I've seen on here - and that's saying somethingTwo things astonish me about this thread

I agree. Pele was definitely a good playerCertainly the daftest question I've seen on here - and that's saying something
Fantastic keeper. Not just a shot-stopper but all-round presence. Mag mate of mine still recalls the most amazing performance by him back in the day when he was beyond Superman. Bear in mind his record caps haul of 125 could have added Clem's 61 caps! - edited to add Ray Clemence shared goalkeeping duties with him between 1972 and 1984 when he got 61 caps.
Shilton had the jersey to himself after then.
