Probably the most dramatic goal ever scored by a goalkeeper was Jimmy Glass's effort for Carlisle United in May 1999 that saved the club from the ignominy of non-league football.

His goal secured Cumbria's last professional side's League status and sent Scarborough down instead. To add salt to the Yorkshire club's wounds, Glass was playing his last game for United having arrived on loan from Swindon Town only three weeks before…

It would seem to me that only the need for defensive cover in the event of a miss has kept penalty-taking from becoming a specialty a little like place-kicking in US football.

I know in FM that having your best penalty taker in the 9-10-11 range always costs you a game or three a season, and is lethal in cup matches that don't have replays.
