FOR a man who recently celebrated his 43rd birthday, Craig Gordon is well-versed in defying the laws of time. But, at Dens Park on Sunday afternoon, he also seemed to defy the basic laws of physics.
With Hearts down to ten men and clinging on to their 1-0 lead in the dying seconds, Gordon produced an absolutely stupendous save low to his left to keep out a header from Dundee’s Emile Acquah.
Save of the season? Without question. Maybe the save of any season. It immediately drew comparisons with Gordon Banks’ immortal denial of Pele in the 1970 World Cup.
