5 footballers who became goalkeepers when needed

#1 Rio Ferdinand - Manchester United

Ferdinand tried saving the penalty but couldn't do so.

Yet another incident when both the goalkeepers were sent off and another player had to save the day, Rio Ferdinand did something similar to what John Terry did back in 2006.

It was an unbelievable display of leadership by the Manchester United centre-back but wasn't quite the best goalkeeping performance.

The FA Cup tie against Portsmouth back in 2008 was more dramatic than ever, as in the dying moments of the match, Ferdinand was forced to become the goalkeeper after two of Manchester United's only two goalkeepers were forced to walk off the pitch.

Ferdinand did show some skill as he dived right into the penalty that was taken by Sully Muntari, but there was far too much power in his shot as it made way past the English centre-back and into the net. The impact of the Ghanaian's penalty was way too powerful, as Manchester United were knocked out of the FA Cup right away.
