Kyle Walker, John Terry and other outfield players who filled in as goalkeeper - in pictures

On Wednesday evening, during Manchester City's Champions League match against Atalanta, Kyle Walker became the latest outfield player to don a pair of goalkeeper gloves and fill in between the sticks.

First-choice stopper Ederson had been forced off with an injury at half-time, only for his replacement, Claudio Bravo, to get sent off.

So, with nine minutes to go and with the score at 1-1, full-back Walker was called off the bench to martial the City goal line.

Donning a 'Bravo 1' jersey, Walker made two saves - more than both Ederson and Bravo during the game - as City made their way back to Manchester with a point.

After Walker's cameo, we have put together a photo gallery of other famous outfield players who filled in as an emergency goalkeeper. To move on to the next image, click on the arrows or thumbnails, or if using a mobile device simply swipe the photo.
