News about David Seaman

EXCLUSIVE BY ISAAN KHAN: It was a night that will live long in the memory of Jack Porter. A 16-year-old goalkeeper thrust into the Arsenal first-team to play Bolton in the Carabao Cup third round. Injuries to David Raya and Tommy Setford, and No2 keeper Neto being cup-tied, had presented Porter with this opportunity. He was understandably nervous, with some jitters on the ball, but stood tall to the task at hand.

On September 1 in 2001, led by the late Sven-Goran Eriksson, the England men's national team enjoyed one of their greatest ever nights. After losing on penalties to Germany at both Italia '90 and Euro '96, England travelled to Munich to face their old rivals again, this time in a World Cup qualifier. Germany were the clear group leaders, having beaten England 1-0 in the last ever game before the demolition of the old Wembley Stadium 11 months earlier. Carsten Jancker then gave Germany an early lead in Munich, but England hit back spectacularly to win 5-1 thanks to a Michael Owen hat-trick, plus goals from fellow Liverpool stars Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey. England's star-studded team that night also included the likes of David Seaman, Ashley Cole, Paul Scholes and captain David Beckham . But where are they all now, 23 years on?

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has died aged 76. Bo Gustavsson, an agent in Sweden who worked with Eriksson, said in a statement: 'Sven-Goran Eriksson has passed away. 'After a long illness, SGE died during the morning at home surrounded by family.' 

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has died aged 76. The Swede was held in great affection by supporters and enjoyed a colourful career both on and off the pitch. Eriksson always looked every inch the ice-cool Swede in the dug-out but it's fair to say his coaching career was anything but dull. He was the coach who tried - and failed - to guide England 's much-vaunted 'Golden Generation' to the success and silverware their incredible talent apparently deserved. They failed agonisingly at two World Cups and one European Championship finals despite some unforgettable results along the way.

The celebrated football coach had a conservative approach on the pitch but a series of steamy affairs with much younger women off it. The 76-year-old Swede made headlines around the world due to his philandering while managing England's golden generation between 2001 and 2006. Speaking on a new Amazon Prime documentary about his life, called 'Sven', he talks  openly about his affairs but insisted that 'sex is one of the good things in life for all of us'.

CRAIG HOPE IN DUSSELDORF: Do not underestimate the intelligence of a keeper who has saved four shootout penalties at major tournaments from the 14 he has faced. Between 1990 and 2012, his predecessors kept out just two of 36. Jordan Pickford is dynamic, intimidating and imposing. Compare that to Peter Shilton against West Germany in 1990, who dived the right way every time but was soundly beaten. Even David Seaman, again versus the Germans six years later, did not influence the situation the way Pickford does.

Turkey goalkeeper Mert Gunok etched his name into football folklore with an incredible save late on in his side's Euro 2024 victory against Austria. Gunok showed superb reflexes to keep out Christoph Baumgartner's header and preserve Turkey's lead as they made it through to the quarter-finals. Lee Dixon on commentary for ITV hailed the save as being like a 'Gordon Banks replica'. The save from Gunok has prompted discussion regarding the greatest stops of all time, with his effort certainly deemed worthy of a place in that category, but what is the best piece of goalkeeping ever?

There is at least one positive omen for Scotland as minds turn from the horror show in Munich and towards what lies in wait in Cologne on Wednesday. The last victory for the national team at a major tournament happened to come against none other than Switzerland. Ally McCoist's screamer at Villa Park arrived in the last group game of Euro '96. Had it not been for David Seaman letting in Patrick Kluivert's tame shot 120 miles down the M40 at Wembley, McCoist's goal that night would have been historic, too.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has told Bukayo Saka to stop making such a meal of fouls. Saka is one of the most fouled players in the Premier League and the subject of his treatment by defenders has become a big talking point. The winger has so far managed to avoid serious injury but Arsenal fans were left holding their breath once again during Saturday's win over Bournemouth.

Team GB have launched the official Adidas Olympic kit and stuck with the traditional Union flag after Nike sparked outrage with an 'inclusive' pink and purple flag. The newly revealed Adidas team kit has gone for a much safer option than Nike, sticking with the iconic red, white and blue flag. Earlier this month, Nike suffered a massive backlash for their sale of Olympic merchandise to fans which were called union jack flags but were pink and purple with dots and squiggly lines. Bath-based agency Thisaway, who came up with the concept, said they wanted to 'find a way of refreshing Team GB's colour palette' because it was 'far from unique', prompting a backlash from politicians and the public.Pictured right: A close-up of the flag on the Nike England soccer jersey at a fan store in London, Britain, 22 March 2024 which was slammed for using 'woke' colours in the flag.

Kasabian star Serge Pizzorno was on the books of Nottingham Forest from the age of 10-13, when all he wanted was to play for his beloved Leicester City, a team he admits getting 'carried away' supporting. He told Geoff Shreeves on his podcast Football, Music and Me: 'I used to wear my Leicester socks underneath my Forest kit, just to know that I wasn't being too disloyal.' Serge, whose band this week released a new summer anthem titled Coming Back To Me For Good, has been a loyal supporter of Leicester his whole life and admits he got carried away at a few away games.

Many supporters were outraged when the kit designer revealed that England's home kit had substituted the horizontal line on the traditional red cross with a navy blue, light blue, and pink one. The strip, which was launched in Germany ahead of Euro 2024, promised to 'celebrate football heroes of the past with a modern twist.' JD Sports, the world's largest street giant, has confirmed that the England away kit is selling more than the home kit for the first time ever. Regis Schulz, JD Sports' chief executive, told The Sun, 'It has only been two or three days of trading, and so far it has been good, but the away shirt is selling better than the other one, although invariably it would be the other way around.'

Nike has been chastised for giving the traditional St George's Cross a 'playful upgrade' on the back of the new Three Lions shirt by adding purple and blue horizontal stripes. Many supporters were outraged when the kit designer announced last week that it had changed the horizontal line on the traditional red cross with a different hue. Grant Walters, the founder of The Sports Shop, is now offering heat transfers starring the old St George's Cross, so fans can keep up the latest Nike version. The transfers have gone on sale at his Kingswinford and Stourbridge shops in the West Midlands.

Harry Redknapp demonstrated his admiration for Wayne Rooney during a game of 'Winner Keeps On'. Frank Lampard, Robbie Williams, and David Seaman will all be in charge of Team England at Soccer Aid on June 9; Redknapp will head Team England at Soccer Aid. Gary Cahill, Jermain Defoe, Jack Wilshere are among the notable names on the list, including Sir Mo Farah, Stuart Broad, and Steven Bartlett.

Both eyes will be on the collars of England players as they face Brazil on Thursday in an interview over a rehash of the St George's cross by Nike. Many supporters were outraged when the kit designer revealed this week that it had replaced the horizontal line on the traditional red cross with a navy blue, light blue, and pink version. Harvey Elliott, a younger player, 'hid' the new cross by covering his collar for his team's match against Azerbaijan yesterday. Players may also have'said no' to Nike's updated version of the St George's flag,' according to England legend David Seaman, if they had been consulted. It's not broken, it doesn't need to be fixed.' What's next, are we going to change the three lions to three cats? According to a Seaman, leave it alone.'

Nike is being chastised by vehement football fans for changing St George's flag on the new England kit that the team will wear tonight as the team tries to beat Brazil, but it is not the first time as Umbro has played with the flag in their 2011/12 kit. Umbro did a contract with England before Nike and produced the kit for Euro 2012, which included St George's flag in four distinct colors across the upper back of the shirt's upper back in red, blue, green, and purple. The idea behind the multi-color crosses was thought up by designer Peter Saville and Umbro to represent the countries cultural diversity, similar to Nike's, but there was no reaction from fans.

England legend David Seaman has stated that if players had consulted on Nike's revised version of the St George's flag, they would have said no's. The FA and manufacturers both disagreed on the style, insisting that there are no plans to recall the jersey. Nike calls the navy, light blue, and purple shades a 'playful update' on the country's flag. According to them, the new kit is not virtue-signalling, but rather a salute to the 1966 World Cup champions.

After a 'rainbow colored abomination' (left), England fans promised to boycott Nike and their hated new £125 shirt for the 2024 Euros. Peter Shilton and David Seaman were among those to protest the 'wokened' style and state, 'Just leave it alone'. However, TV presenter Ms. Kaur (right) is among those supporting the change, despite the fact that the England flag in its original red and white is'scary' and'scry' and represents 'racism.'

IAN HERBERT: Pele, the 25-year-old boy who stepped out from a wooden cabin on Scotland's west coast in 1966, was immaculately dressed as the Brazilian football team was back then, boots polished to a shine, and white towel in hand. He was already a superstar on his own when he competed for the Jules Rimet trophy on English soil in July, but the Brazilian team had to prepare for Troon's improvable surrounds. The climate was supposed to suit them, but the Marine, a fine hotel, was still standing two miles up the road today, although it was not made clear that it would. They were unemployed, according to the news. It was the talk of a hosiery factory near Kilmarnock, where Elsie Cook, a knitter, became aware of the alert when one of the company's mechanics noticed it while trying to repair one of the machines.

After legends Peter Shilton and David Seaman protested the 'woken' design and appalling £125 price tag, the Prime Minister, a Southampton fan, said the St George's Cross was already 'good.' After being told millions by redrawing the St George's Cross in blue and purple, England fans promised to boycott Nike and their hated new shirt. Nike hasn't changed the flags on any of its national kits, as MailOnline has discovered. "Obviously I like the original, and my general opinion is that we shouldn't mess with our national flags." Mr Sunak said in Derbyshire today: "Obviously I like the original, and I agree that we shouldn't mess with them." They're a point of pride and identity, who we are, and they're as good as they are.' The new kit will be used by the squad at Euro 2024, but a fight over the replacement of the traditional red cross threatens to derail a tournament where Gareth Southgate's side is one of the favourites to win.

The new kit will be used by the team at Euro 2024, but a controversy over the replacement of the traditional red cross could threaten to destabilize a tournament that Gareth Southgate's side is one of the favorites to win. Peter Shilton, England's most captained men's player, said today: "I don't agree with it." It's awakened. If you're going to put the St George's Cross on a kit, as Nike have done, then go back to the classic colors. I'm a traditionalist and England represents our country, and the colours on our flag are red, white, and blue.' It's traditional,' like the Three Lions.' Nike and the Football Association have failed to adequately explain why the flag is blue and purple rather than red and white, rather than red and white - rather than red and white - but rather than saying 'playful' and a salute to the 1966 team's training top. Adrian Bevington, the former Football Association boss, admitted today that he would not have signed off the shirt and that "it's our flag." It's a national identity, and I don't think it needs to be changed.' David Seaman, a former England goalkeeper who played 75 times for his country, said he thinks many in his generation of players would have refused to wear it. 'It doesn't need to be fixed,' he said this morning. What's next, are they going to change the Three Lions to three cats? Leave it alone. It's the St George's Flag. Leave it alone. I'm positive they would not have said no if they'd approached the lads and asked them about it. Just leave it alone.' More than 16,000 people have signed an online petition to oust the new shirt and restart; a worldwide resistance campaign against Nike has taken root, and protests against Nike are in full swing, considering that critics are fed up with national pride being depicted as a negative thing or even considered racist.

And after all these years, the argument is still rumbles on. Did he mean it?Was it a fluke?Could Ronaldinho possibly have spotted David Seaman off his line and popped the ball over his head and into the top corner from 40 yards away on purpose? When Brazil knocked Sven-Goran Eriksson's side out of the World Cup quarter-finals in 2002, it was the goal that broke England hearts, and it was one that every football fan remembers when it floats over Seaman. The question remains tense more than two decades as the two countries meet again on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

The fifth round of the FA Cup is expected to be concluded tonight as the final 4 games in the round of 16 get underway. Manchester City advanced to the quarter-finals with a 6-2 thrashing of Luton Town on Tuesday, as Newcastle pushed Blackburn Rovers on penalties. In the meantime, Coventry ended Maidstone's cinderella story when they defeated 5-0, while Bournemouth was humiliated when losing to Leicester of the Championships.

Exclusive BY JOE BERNSTEIN: Since his FA Cup exploits made news throughout his home Brazil, National League South goalkeeper Lucas Covolan has been keeping his feet - and gloves - on the ground with early-morning airport runs for girlfriend Jana Kuna, a well-known sportswoman in her own right. Covolan, whose 12 saves helped Maidstone United beat Ipswich Town last month and become the lowest-ranked team to reach the FA Cup fifth round since 1978, has to set the alarm in order to drop off and retrieve his partner, an international fencer for Croatia. Jana is wondering if she's eligible for the Paris Olympics this summer, having just returned from the World Cup in Barcelona. It's a glamorous coupling for Kent's county town, and after missing out on the action at Portman Road in order to qualify in Qatar, Jana has confirmed she will be the chief cheerleader at Coventry City for Monday's match.
