My Take

Tim Krul will forever own one surreal, brilliant night. The towering Dutch goalkeeper spent his prime at Newcastle, but his legend was sealed at the 2014 World Cup when Louis van Gaal sent him on purely for the quarter-final shootout against Costa Rica and he saved two penalties. That cold-blooded specialist moment is one of the great tactical gambles in tournament history. I love a keeper who thrives under that specific, unbearable pressure. A long, dependable career across the Premier League, plus that one piece of folklore; that's a goalkeeper's life well spent.
