Almost all the stories about the making of Escape To Victory are contested, but one I like is that when they were shooting the amazing Pele bicycle kick goal, Sivell messed up... by saving it.

And youre right of course @roberthutton.co.uk , the German GK is played by Laurie Sivell who was a total LEGEND to Ipswich fans. Only 5'8 or so and basically Paul Cooper's understudy, for a while Sivell had the record for successive saved penalties. He was *stupidly* brave
We loved him
