It's Bean Hammer
In my ‘Miner’ novels, I have a character called Monster Morgan (a miner) and added ‘Big Waz’ an (IT specialist) in the sequel; nothing to do with football, I just like the names. Perhaps a new character could be a guy who really hates poultry; Kasper “No Fowl! No Fowl” Schmeichel.

Yep. Stop the debate. Kasper is top drawer. Those 2 saves were class. No, the 2nd was phenomenal. Right there, in that moment, you saw it all. How much the game mattered to him, how much the club mattered to him. An exceptional keeper and an exceptional man. I get the feeling that he'll hang up his boots with us, when the day comes.
Tremedous save from Mount's shot. Even when you see it in slow motion, it's difficult to see how Kasper got across to it. He showed similar strength in his hand/wrist to save from a Marcus Rashford shot a while back, but the one yesterday was also at full stretch. Simply magnificent!

The reflexes too. It came in at pace and I think through bodies.

Just checked and Kasper hits 10 years at the club on the 27th June.
The main thing to thank Sven for when we got him from Leeds for about a million. Not bad value for money.
426 appearances not out. Championship, Premier League and FA Cup winner.
He'll pick up his 68th cap for Denmark in that time this afternoon too.

Also need to thank Leeds for tossing him aside to raise a million quid! I think it was Ken Bates at the time?

Simon Grayson said as much. He had no desire to sell but was told the club had to raise money so he effectively got forced out.
Agree he was excellent. Also - it appears some moron in the crowd tried to shine a laser into his eyes before Kane took the penalty, incident is being investigated by UEFA.

There was a zero percent chance England were winning that match on penalties had it gone that way. He was superb.

Yes, Pickford is always a bombscare and at fault for their goal.

Commentators yesterday said "Pickford's distribution is usually sublime" which suggests to me they have never seen him play. Still think England's No 1 should be Nick Pope.

Not so sure about that. The wall was covering (or not) the keepers right hand side of the goal and if he had stood more central it would have invited the free-kick to be put into the other corner.
Sometimes, it isn't anyone's fault, just a great strike.

I do think Pickford should have done better with it.
