That little knowing nod he gives after making that save... That was the moment he knew, and we all knew, that it was ours. The penalties were never in doubt.

Thanks, Jerzy.

That's so true. It was mainly down to being hammered but after that save I was certain we were going to win.

The haunted look in Sheva's eyes cracks me up, it's like he can't comprehend what's just happened.

Remember him being blasted for THAT Forlan game against the Mancs at Anfield, but then putting in a Man of the match performance against them in the League Cup final a couple of months later to win the trophy. Oh, and that night in Turkey!

Thank you Jerzy!

he was patchy for us was a great shot stopper but always had my heart in my mouth when a cross came in

, but he left on such a high note that he'll always be remembered for that .. and rightly so .. at retiurement parties it's always better to remember the good times so thanks Jerzy for keeping us in the champions league final of 2005 long enough for us to catch up at the other end .. and for that amazing double save ...and for playing your part in the most exciting football match I've ever watched, not just as a liverpool supporter but from watching any football match at all .. you're probably a legend for that with the neutral supporter too

Thanks for the memories, Dudek!

He made the best save in the history of our club in our greatest game.

Ah first Sami and now Jerzy. Two legends in Liverpool FC's Red corridor of history.

still don't know how he made that save

One of those freak footballing moments for me. I still expect it to go in every time I see it again.

Best of luck dudek in whatever you do now and we will never forget you

Good luck. Still don't know how he made that save from Shevchenko. The penalty save just capped it off.

After Istanbul, don't think I could ever utter a negative word about the guy. Must make retirement easier knowing he has that medal and was so central to what panned out that night. Great memories.

Spot on!

It would be great if someone had that moment .gif

When Jerzy did his spaghetti legs and arms thingy during the PK in Istanbul. I knew something special was going to happen.

El_Pistolero · « **Reply #93 on:** May 22, 2011, 11:35:21 am »

That double save was just magical. I celebrated that just as much as I celebrated our third, as soon as he - somehow - denied Shevchenko from that range I just knew we'd be getting our 5th that night.

Truly a magical night, and Jerzy played a huge part in that magic.

Enjoy your retirement Jerzy, YNWA!

RM gave him quite a sendoff! http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2011/05/22/2497857/jerzy-dudek-moved-by-guard-of-honour-send-off-in-real

In another article, Jerzy was quoted ""When my teammates and friends formed the corridor... I don't have words to describe it" http://www.madeupnonsense.com/articles/real-madrid-keeper-dudek-announces-retirement-1647401

Not bad considering he only played in 2 league matches for them, 11 matches in all.

Thanks for the memories, Jerzy! YNWA

Just shows what a top bloke he is and how highly regarded he was by his team mates. Would be good if the club brought him and Sami back for the first home game next season so are fans can show are appreciation for theRm.
Remember being on my knees every time Milan took there pen, praying to Pope John Paul II to save it for Jerzy. Not that I'm religous just the fact he had just died and was a Pole like Jerzy. There was definitely divine intervention for that save.

good luck jerzy you had up's and down's at liverpool but in the end you were a good keeper who in the big games turned up IE 2003 league cup final and the CL run and final of 2005 .

Had to watch the 95 highlights, just magical. Thank you Jerzy!

RigBon1892 · « **Reply #105 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:12:19 pm »

People will always talk about THAT save, and his saves in the shootout but for me his most important moment in that game came from a Shevchenko free early on in the 2nd half, he only saw it at the last minute but got it around the post and a couple of forays up the pitch later, JAR got a cross into the area and the rest as they say is history.

Thanks for everything Jerzy

Legend, thank you Jerzy for the best night of my life, YNWA

What a fecking save. One of the reasons we have number 5.

Enjoy retirement Jerzy.

rushyman · « **Reply #108 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:18:18 pm »

That save from Shevchanko, not the pen, the miracle

Im still expecting to be transported back 6 years to see that to tear the roof of the net out.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #109 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:20:03 pm »

Love the guy, hope he enjoys his retirement. We all know why he is a legend. YNWA.

Only just found out about him retiring this morning, was a little shocked, mostly because he won't be around anymore. In the playing capacity anyway.

FitRobbie · « **Reply #110 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:23:11 pm »

6 year after he retired a certain AC Milan, Chelsea striker... Thanks Jerzy.

Immense in Istanbul. He should never be forgotten for that and he never will.

Thanks Jerzy and have a great retirement.

I've watched that save a million times and to this day I still don't know how it went over the bar.
You can take your Banks v Pele any day of the week, for me, THAT was the greatest save of all time.
Take care Jerzy, I shall 'do the dudek' at some point today in your honour.

saintslfc13 · « **Reply #119 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:43:44 pm »

thanks Jerzy!! good luck with life.

Honestly I laugh everytime I watch THAT save and replays of the penalties against milan. The only whole match really but especially those moments. It's so surreal when I think about it, not to mention "the greatest day of my entire fucking life" as the guy in the pub said to me, at halftime no less. Again, all the best for Jerzy.
