Craig Forrest at Wolves in the FA Cup in 1994. Andy Thompson headed into the top right corner (from outside goal). I thought Forrest would get there but not keep it out but somehow he managed it.
Plenty of good ones from Richard Wright, the double save (penalty and rebound) against Stockport at PR in 1999 and the FA Cup game at Blackburn. That one from Hristov at Wembley when it was 3-2 was very important if not quite in the same class.
If we're talking Town keepers, Richard Wright at Arsenal in 2000/01 made a string of incredible saves. The Arsenal fan I was with was gobsmacked. I believe Arsenal bought him on the basis of that game.

Wrighty was close to perfection that day and I agree that that performance went a long way in convincing Arsenal to sign him.
edit-just looked at Richard Wright's appearance record-240 games for us up to 2001 and then only another 140 thereafter of which 58 were back with us. No doubt a great career financially but.....

Richard Wright was excellent for us in the late 90s / early 00s.... the two games that really stand out are Blackburn away in the FA Cup in 1996 and the Arsenal away game in the Prem in 2001. But the save of his that really stands out is from Hristov's header in the PO Final at a very critical time.
