Notes

  • - Grobbelaar had clearly done his homework. "I was reading the programme in the toilet before the match when I saw a picture of Stapleton taking United's last penalty kick," he explained. "It showed him shooting hard and low, slightly to the goalkeeper's left, so I thought he might do the same this time, and dived that way. Luckily I got it right and he hit my legs."
