Phil Jagielka celebrates at Wembley _460
HE HAS earned plaudits as one of the best centre halves in the Premier League - but Phil Jagielka still has fond memories of the fateful game when he became an emergency goalkeeper.
The injured Everton defender was famously asked to go between the sticks during a game for his former club Sheffield United when keeper Paddy Kenny went off during a home game with Arsenal.
Now the England star has recalled the impressive shut-out he performed to save the day and earn himself cult status among fans of the South Yorkshire club.
Speaking during an exclusive interview on a new club DVD aimed at young Toffees, My Everton, the 27-year-old said: 'I've always enjoyed playing in goal.
'When we've had five-a-side before training at Sheffield United and the keepers are doing their training separately I would always go in.
'Neil Warnock has his ways at United and didn't like putting goalkeepers on the bench.
'He preferred to have more attacking options.
'It's not very often your goalkeeper goes down but when you are playing Arsenal at home, you are doing well, you go 1-0 up and then Paddy Kenny pulls his groin and everyone looks at you, you cannot help but laugh.
