David Marshall ex Cardiff City goalie saves penalty which sends Scotland to next years Euros, first time in a tournament for 22yrs
Aleksandar Mitrović was the penalty taker .



The sight of David Marshall saving an important penalty will not have come as a huge surprise to Cardiff City fans.

On Thursday night, Bluebirds legend Marshall came up trumps for Scotland in their crucial Euro 2020 play-off clash with Serbia when he denied Aleksandar Mitrovic's spot-kick to send his country through to next year's summer showpiece in dramatic fashion.

It was a special night for Steve Clarke's side, as it was for the millions of Scots watching at home, and it was Marshall who emerged the hero.

It will be a familiar feeling for a man who a decade ago produced a similarly magnificent display between the sticks for the Bluebirds against Leicester City in the 2010 Championship play-off semi-final.

That day he denied Martyn Waghorn and Yann Kermorgant, who attempted a chipped 'Panenka' penalty which the Scot saved with consummate ease.

And Marshall, now 35, went on to become a City great thereafter, racking up 278 appearances during a seven-year stint with the club, which included a Player of the Season campaign during the Bluebirds' first foray into the Premier League.

It is fair to say he still holds a fond place within the hearts of all Cardiff fans and, after his latest exploits for his beloved country, there was an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans in south Wales.

Supporters flocked to social media to crown Marshall the "penalty king" as they threw their backing behind Marshall and the Scotland team, which also included former Bluebird Callum Paterson.

Where is Marshall playing now?

Hes at Derby.

For me the way City got rid of him was a disgrace.

He never wanted to leave and was pushed out and for me Marshall did a top job for us and was like a Captain at the back

Pleased for Marshall, a nice bloke ..
however, I personally think Smithies is a far better keeper than him and Etheridge.
The old joke .. Marshall known as Dracula.. scared of crossed.

He was brilliant for us, that save against Leicester in the play off semi final was incredible, have a look here at 4.30 in the video, world class.

Great keeper for us - should never have gone - unless he wanted to. I dont think he wanted to leave. His family still live here and Mrs runs a business here.

Having said that Etheredge and Smithies equally up to the job

People said differently at the time but those of us who (for whatever reason) knew Marshall and his family, knew the truth; he was forced out

Couldn't be more pleased for him to have ben his national hero; he was certainly a Cardiff City one!

He was part of our squads backbone and our best player for many seasons. Loved playing for us and loved living here which helps immensly. Got treated atrociously on his exit given his consistent track record. Good luck Marshy, you'll always be welcome here.

Paul, you're so right...!

Great to see former City man Calum Paterson in there, too!

The after party looked superb and you could see how Marshall was the hero. Absolutely loved the Marshall Congo!

We've had some great keepers over the years. It would be interesting to see who people think was the best?
Healey, Dibble, Hallworth, Wood, Marshall, Alexander, Hanbury, Irwin

I always liked Marshall one of the all time city great goalkeepers we have had how we let him go is beyond me

Can only go back to wood so some great keepers in that time but surely Marshall has he had a great season in the top division against some of the worlds best.

And fancy Mitrovic being on the end of Marshall save too,perfect it's funny though,in the two years we have been in the premier league, the goalkeeper has been player of the year.
But for me,Marshall gets my vote,but Smithies, etheridge, in fact quite a list of keepers have been superb for us,shame we don't get that sort of talent up the other end of the pitch

He loved it at cardiff and his family did too so another player who shouldnt have left in my view the best saves I have ever seen live by him especially that year in the prem he was great. he was not the best with corners and his kicking was not the best if it was he would have been at a top 6 team in the prem

We've had some good GK's Chris but for me Marshall is the best. I'll have to have a look for the congo mate as if Pato is involved it will be a laugh.

Just about sobered up from Thursday now.

I knew he would save one, called it as soon as it went to penalties. So glad it was Marshall that was the hero.

Looking forward to the Euros now, just hope fans are allowed in by then.
