What about when a goalkeeper is forced to play outfield? He completed 90 minutes at centre-back for Real Valladolid in La Liga in 1987. Valladolid had three goalkeepers in their squad that season – Fenoy, Wirth and José Luis Rodríguez, who ended up on the bench in Seville – so Wirth often played centre-back during practice games in training. Somehow, with their two goalkeepers on the pitch, Valladolid won 2-1. Wirth also worked as a part-time PE teacher in Valladolid and said fans would regularly ask him to start playing outfield.
