Skysports.com gives you our all-time top ten goalkeeping blunders.
Goalkeepers come under the spotlight more than others, especially when it comes to making mistakes. But which keeper has made the biggest blunder of them all?
Skysports.com gives you our all-time favourites.
Paul Robinson - Croatia 2 England 0, Euro 2008 qualifier, October 2006
With England already a goal down in their crucial away fixture against Croatia, Robinson allowed Gary Neville's seemingly harmless backpass to roll over his foot to hand the home side a 2-0 lead and put the game well beyond Steve McClaren's men.
David Seaman - Brazil 2 England 1, World Cup, June 2002
The Arsenal goalkeeper allowed a long-range free-kick from Ronaldinho to beat him for a goal which ended England's hopes of winning the World Cup in Japan and South Korea at the quarter-final stage.
David James - Austria 2 England 2, World Cup qualifier, September 2004
The current Pompey keeper let a long-range shot by Andreas Ivanschitz squirm underneath his body for the equaliser as England threw away a two-goal lead in their qualifying campaign for Germany 2006.
Ray Clemence - Scotland 2 England 1, Home Internationals, May 1976
Over 85,000 fans filled Hampden Park to witness the Liverpool keeper's biggest mistake in an England jersey. The match was poised at 1-1 when Kenny Dalglish, twisting and turning, made room for a shot inside the England penalty area. He could only scuff a weak effort towards goal but Clemence allowed the ball to slip through his legs and into the net.
Peter Shilton - England 1 Poland 1, World Cup qualifier, October 1973
England needed to beat Poland at Wembley to make it through to the World Cup finals in West Germany. Sir Alf Ramsey's men laid siege to Jan Tomaszewski's goal but could not break the deadlock. A Norman Hunter error early in the second half allowed Lato to break away to feed Domarski who shot straight at Shilton. However the England keeper dived over the top of the ball allowing the visitors to take a shock lead. In spite of an Allan Clarke penalty, England were unable to find a winner. Ramsey was sacked soon after.
Scott Carson - England 2, Croatia 3, Euro 2008 qualifier, November 2007
Just minutes into his competitive England debut, the 22-year-old Villa keeper was beaten by a speculative long-range effort by Portsmouth's Niko Kranjcar. The skiddy pitch and moving ball were mitigating factors but the fact Carson failed to get his body behind the ball proved his downfall as the Croatian's shot squirmed through his hands and into the net.
Peter Bonetti - England 2 West Germany 3, World Cup finals, June 1970
With world champions England leading 2-0 and seemingly coasting to a World Cup semi-final, Peter Bonetti, deputising for the ill Gordan Banks, gifted the Germans a way back into the game when he let a tame Franz Beckenbauer effort under his body. Uwe Seeler then equalised and Gerd Muller got the winner in extra-time.
David Seaman - England 2, Macedonia 2, Euro 2004 qualifier, October 2002
Arsenal's veteran goalkeeper set the tone for a ragged England display by allowing Artim Sakiri to score direct from a corner, the ball flying over the hapless Seaman's head. It handed Macedonia an early lead and gave them the perfect incentive as they hung on for a draw at St Mary's Stadium.
Nigel Martyn - England 2 Romania 3, Euro 2000, June 2000
Needing just a draw to go through to the quarter-finals, England were leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Alan Shearer and Michael Owen before Martyn's intervention. Playing only because David Seaman injured himself in the warm-up, Martyn came for a second half cross which really had little to do with him. His clearance fell straight to the waiting Dorinel Munteanu, who chested the ball down before drilling it back beyond the Leeds keeper's despairing dive. In the last minute, Phil Neville conceded a penalty tucked away by Ioan Ganea which saw Kevin Keegan's side crash out.
David James - Denmark 4 England 1, Friendly, August 2005
Not so much a single error but a collective misjudgment which led to England's heaviest defeat in 25 years. The then Manchester City keeper admitted he failed to prepare properly for his second-half outing in which he conceded all four goals - including a rash error of judgement for Denmark's opener. James claimed he had not expected to be involved in the game - a startling admission for someone looking for international redemption after his blunder against Austria the year before.
