But now former Manchester United goalkeeper Amos has taken it next level, with a sensational no-look save whilst playing for Charlton Atheltic against Shrewsbury in the second leg of their League One play-off semi-final.

Praise from Big Nev and the accolade of Save of the Season - cheer up Ben and have a nice summer break playing that save over and over in your head.
