LEGENDARY England goalkeeper Peter Shilton regaled a spellbound audience with tales of top-flight shot-stopping at Malvern College on Friday (November 1).

Shilton, who played a record 125 times for England with three World Cup appearances, told anecdotes from a career that took in eight teams, including the European Cup-winning Nottingham Forest side.

After making his debut for Leicester City at the age of 16, taking over from World Cup-winning 'keeper Gordon Banks, Shilton made another 1,004 league appearances, still playing at senior professional level into his 40s.

Stories about working under Alf Ramsey, Brian Clough and Bobby Robson, and alongside Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne kept the audience on-side well into extra time.

Inevitably, he included Maradona's infamous "Hand of God" incident, which ensured England got no further than the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup. Shilton shared the disbelief he still feels that the referee allowed the goal.

The evening was compered by David "Kid" Jensen, who became a household name on Radio One and Top of the Pops, and who now works for Heart FM.

Shilton - now an MBE and OBE - concluded the evening by offering a few pieces of advice to any budding footballers present and signing footballs, photographs and other items.
