Then and now.

It now seems that the Liverpool goalkeeper in the recent Champions League Cup Final may have been suffering from concussion and that this might explain a couple of errors he made which contributed to their defeat.  Not to belittle him, but anybody remember when Bert Trautmann, Manchester City's goalie played the last quarter of an hour or so of the F A Cup Final in 1956 with a broken neck?  This was before substitutes were allowed, and Trautmann played on in agony rather than have his side reduced to ten men.
