Most saves ever by an Australian GK in a #FIFAWorldCup match and most saves by any GK while keeping a clean sheet in a World Cup match since 17 June 2018 while still only 22 and on your third ever appearance for the national team? Now that's something else 🤯

I first stumbled on Adrian’s story in 2011 when researching a feature on Ryan Giggs. I asked @TheRealBozza and @Alan_Tonge whether Giggs stuck out a mile in #MUFC youth team, expecting to hear "Yes of course he did."
Instead, both replied: “Have you heard of Adrian Doherty?”
This is Adrian Doherty, who would have turned 50 today, described by Sir Alex Ferguson as “the boy with the most amazing football skill, but happiest with his books, poems and guitar.”
And by one of his ex #MUFC youth-team-mates as “Bob Dylan in a No 7 shirt”

The incredible story of how three teammates from San Sebastian all came to manage top Premier League clubs 👇
7 days to go - Since 1966, 🇩🇪 Miroslav Klose has scored the most headed goals at the @FIFAWorldCup (7).
His only hat-trick at the tournament saw him convert three headers against 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia in 2002. Kopf.
