    Okay, the Premier League is celebrating 20 years this year and have released a shortlist of things such as "Greatest Players", "Greatest Celebration", "Greatest Goal" and "Greatest Save".

    Now being a goal keeper myself I went straight to the greatest save section, and as expected there is the inclusion of Peter Schmeichel (who I deemed to be the best Keeper the prem has ever seen closely by Seaman), there's Carlo Cudicini who in his Chelsea hay-day was superb, Brad Friedel who I think is one of the most under rated keepers ever, there's Jussi Jaaskelainen who could have played for someone better then Bolton and Shay Given, Craig Gordon and Joe Hart. There's also the inclusion of Tomasz Kuszczak onto the list for his save for WBA against Wigan years ago.

    http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/features/20-seasons-awards-best-save/

    I was disapointed however for the lack of inclusion of a certain Mr Dean Kiely for his save against Birmingham City all those years ago or, a one on one by Thomas Myhre against Arsenal (Not spectacular but still brilliant).

    And I was wondering if anyone thought of Any saves in the premier league they've seen that you think should be included on the list, Charlton or not :)

    The Craig Gordon save was amazing, best one there. Anti Neimi made a fare few quality saves as well I recall.

    Seem to remember two awesome saves from Deano in that Birmingham game Ted. Am surprised that neither made the grade tbh.

    I can't remember for the life of me who against, but I remember Andersen making a save that made me jump out of my seat.

    Also, as much as I am adiment that he should have been sent off for Kicking Hasslebank, Van Persie's Volley against us was something special and that's not on the list of greatest prem goal either, neither is Bartlett's Volley

    Wasn't that Andersen save against Man Utd? I was also going to mention him! He looked great from what I remember!

    Yeah, I remember him making one absolutely incredible save from very close range.

    To be fair, Deano made dozens of finger tip saves that you could argue a case for being on there. Wasn't in the least bit surprised to see him missing out though!

    It was a great goal, but if you watch it closely I'm convinced he shinned it.

    Does that make it a worse goal?

    Nah. I'm just being picky. It was a screamer. Great build up too.

    Man U at home. Then he cocked one up a little later in the game from which they scored.
