random question

does anyone remember a few months back a team in the lower leagues had a injury crisis, so they had to put the goalkeeping coach (who's son was the first team goalkeeper) on the bench?

cant for the life of me remember the name, was in the lower leagues in england.

Dave Beasant is best remembered for saving a penalty during Wimbledon's famous 1988 FA Cup final victory over Liverpool - yet he was named on the bench for Stevenage a whole 26 years later.

The 55-year-old, capped twice by England, was promoted to the substitutes' bench for Stevenage's trip to Brunton Park to take on Carlisle United in League Two.

And if he had made an appearance, Beasant - who is Stevenage's goalkeeping coach but was rushed on to the bench as Chris Day's back-up after his 26-year-old son Sam Beasant was injured - would have become the oldest professional footballer in English history.
