I also thought that Clem would have saved that shot against Germany when the ball went over Shilts head after hitting Parker
Oh absolutely. That was 1990, Shitlon must have been about 60 at the time.
The one that really grates is Shilton being beaten at the near post against Poland which was the match which kicked us out of the 1974 World Cup. Slow to get down. Poland reached the semis in West Germany, and we had absolutely BATTERED them at Wembley. I'd be curious to see a retrospective XPG, imo around 10-0.
A month later, PS made a ricket of the goal in another 0-1 defeat at Wembley to Italy.
Was Clem injured at the time?
If PS had been anywhere near as good as Clem at that time, he'd have been snapped up by bigger clubs that Leicester or Stoke. Later he hit his peak at Forest, although I recall an absolute howler which blew the League Cup Final v Wolves, 0-1.
Prize for anyone who can remember Shilton ever saving a penalty. I can't recall a single one. In the dying seconds of the 1990 1-1 with Germany in the semis I was yelling at the telly for Robson to get Shilton off the pitch and replaced by Beasant. DB had made history a couple of years earlier by saving an FA Cup Final pen for Wimbledon.
It was inevitable it was going to pens
It was inevitable that Shilton wouldn't stop one
It was inevitable that the Germans would hit the target every time
It was inevitable that we'd lose the shootout
it was inevitable that the winner would win the final against a depleted Argentina
