#1 Jussi Jaaskelainen v Manchester United
Trending
Jaaskelainen joined Bolton back in 1997 when the club was still playing Football League’s First Division (Championship). He soon established himself as the first-choice keeper at the club and was a key player in Bolton’s promotion in the 2000-01 run despite missing almost half the season due to a cruciate ligament injury. The Finn spent a long time at the Trotters which spanned almost 15 seasons where he made 474 appearances for the club.
In 2007, he was voted as Bolton's 'Player of the Year Award’ and also the ‘Player’s Player of the Year Award’ for his outstanding performances which helped Bolton get a UEFA Cup (Europa League) spot for the second time in their history.
Jaaskelainen’s brilliant save was not just one save but a double save made in the span of a blink of an eye. The goalkeeper first saved a stinging ground shot hit by Manchester United legend Paul Scholes and then got back up to save a point-blank shot hit by Andy Cole off the rebound, which absolutely stunned the Manchester United players who looked away in disbelief.
