Inept Reviews: Peter Shilton's Handball Maradona

Peter Shilton was a World class footballing goalkeeper for England, being most famous for playing until he was about 65 years old and obtaining no fewer than 500 caps for his country (although to be fair he stole many off his fellow England stars Chris Waddle, Gary Lineker and Terry Butcher amongst others).

In this game you play the part of the goalkeeper before he became of pensionable age. You must save shots instead of scoring them which means you better know all about narrowing the angle and how to save a penalty.

This game isn't to be confused with Peter Stilton's Cheeseball Marathon by Cheddarsoft, a game which many consider to be a classic piece of cheese related programming.

This is a review I made the other week (30th September 2007) and uploaded for the first time.

"Playing until he was about 65 years old"

He's only 60 years old today, you doughnut.

@eclectica1

You're the doughnut, it's obviously a sarcastic comment about the fact he was a bit ancient between the posts when he was still playing top flight footie. Honestly I don't understand what's wrong with people on the internet taking everything said literally. Good luck to you though.

Ta-ra.

MSN interrupts lots of my reviews. About 90% of them you'll also hear my phone receive a text message. It's all part of the fun!

@CaeserOct Purely because Maradona made the public aware of Shilton! I used to log that game. Ahhh, the eighties!

[CaeserOct]

What does Maradona mean in this case? Is it a reference to the guy?

Aaah the good times. When women were slaves and football was exciting..
