Great clearance by Jagielka at the end.

Without doubt, the greatest save in the history of football. The angle, the body position, the reaction time, everything is just perfect. Will never be beaten.

One of the best saves in history if not the best

Remember watching this when I was a kid and my heart sank as I thought it was going in - face beamed with pure amazement as Seaman pulled this off.

The best save ever. I've just watched it for no particular reason 17 years after it happened.

Best save I have ever seen - and I'm a Sheffield United fan! 13 years later and I am STILL thinking, EH? How the hell did Seaman save THAT?!!!! Brilliant.

Even after almost 20 years after seeing this live on TV, I can remember this save like it was yesterday, incredible.

Sheffield United fan here. I am returning to this video to watch the best save in history.
I remember watching it live and could not believe how he saved that header.
Absolutely amazing.

Incredible save. The ball was already behind his body. The amount of agility that must of taken is astonishing.

World class. There's no other word for it. Happy Seaman got to have this moment after the 2002 world cup.

Without doubt, the greatest save i've ever seen in my life. Last minute to add to it. Cant imagine how the Blades fans felt. Seaman at 40 years old. A genuine world class save.

The muscle strength and agility to pull this off is out of this world, not only reactions but pure trained talent and confidence, fantastic

I'm a Spurs fan, but this has to be the best save of all time

[Iggy]

It's as if he stopped time momentarily to make this save

[AndreaJones-ehsd]

Incredible, so hard to change your momentum and go back the other way. Best save ever in my opinion.

[victorwisdom]

This gives me goosebumps! It's almost as if time paused for a few milliseconds, just enough for Seaman to retraced his mis-step and pull the ball away from goal with one palm.

The greatest save of all time. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

[marinbelak]

20 years exactly, yesterday. Still one of the best saves I could think of.

[Timekeeper]

Brilliant save and he has many more highlights too. Seaman is easily one of the best English keepers we've seen
