Everton keeper Neville Southall stayed in his goal for the whole of a match at Goodison Park in 1990 – including during the half-time break. The first match of a new season opened with hope and expectation until Everton went 3-0 down. After his miserable first half against newly promoted Leeds United, Wales international Southall refused to join the rest of his team-mates in the changing rooms at half-time. Instead, he propped himself up against a post and sat disconsolately for the entire duration of the interval. His sit-down protest almost worked as Everton rallied and, although they lost, the score was only 3-2.
