Marcel Marceau was arguably the finest goalkeeper/mime of the modern game and possibly the player who began domestic teams’ reliance on foreign talent. When confronted with Marceau miming an invisible wall across the goal mouth, even the most determined centre forward would give up the ball and throw themselves to the floor with a cry of “sacre bleu!” knowing that their mightiest kick could not penetrate Marceau’s reinforced glass goalmouth. Actually I always thought he was shite, but he remains my first choice for the Dada United Number Un shirt. (I really should get out soon and take some photographs)
