Slow Champion No. 9: John Whitehouse

On Wednesday 31 September, 2005, most people were watching episode 4140 of Emmerdale (Zoe refuses Sadie's offer to buy Home farm), but the real drama of the night was watched by the 122 people in Kent who witnessed the FA Cup preliminary round replay between Tunbridge Wells and Littlehampton Town.

John Whitehouse - Longest FA Cup penalty shootout

In an epic display of forward play, dynamism and ludicrously poor refereeing, this FA Cup tie went to a penalty shoot out that would (eventually) go down in history. 40 agonising penalties later, Tunbridge Wells had won 2-2 (16-15).

The hero of the hour(s) was John Whitehouse, Wells' goalkeeper, who saved 4 penalties throughout the game. By keeping his sheet slightly cleaner than his opposite number, he earns a place in our top ten. Good lad.
