Ironically, an actual Nigel (Nigel Martyn) was our best choice for years but managers were obliged to choose big slow David Seaman because he played for a London team.
Actually, many Essex Girls voted 'Leave', for the very reason that they also strongly dislike the EU dictating what the UK can and cannot do in its own back yard. Credit to them for standing up for the country against overseas rule !
To those of you defending Seaman.... it was a mistake on his part. You can’t be the number one goalie in a knockout game at a World Cup and get scored on from that angle, from that distance. He was flat-footed. He should have bent his legs more and leapt up and knocked the ball over the crossbar. I understand that it very well could have been a fluke goal by Ronaldinho and that Seaman was expecting a cross not a shot, but come on people, it was a terrible bit of goalkeeping.
One of the main reasons for England underperforming in major championships is substandard goalkeeping in contradistinction to Germany who always has solid keepers.
@@magdalenavp824 Oliver Kahn was a monster. Just because he made a mistake in the final doesn't mean he was bad the entire tournament. He was one of the main reasons why they even went to the final since Germany's defence was kind of bad. He also won the golden ball and he's the only keeper in the entire history of world cup to won it. Plus, compared to all the shite English keepers from this video, Oliver Kahn is a constant beast throughout his career until he retired.
