England's number one.
"On 21 February 2012, Lansbury was brought on to play in goal against Blackpool after Robert Green had been sent off for a professional foul with West Ham leading 2–1. Manager Sam Allardyce had not named a goalkeeper amongst his substitutes. West Ham went on to win the game 4–1, and fans chanted "England's Number 1" at the final whistle in tribute to Lanbury's second-half goalkeeping debut, keeping a clean-sheet in the process. West Ham's travelling fans also sang 'Are you Ludo in disguise?' to Lansbury in honour of his emergency shot-stopping stint between the sticks."

Well yes, but as most of the Wikipedia entry was mine I thought that was fair.
Henri is also the only professional I have ever played against in a proper game, he was playing for a Bushey team.

Excellent! Well done!
You don't happen to recall kicking him on the ankle at some point, do you?

Never got anywhere near him. Sure he most have been playing without Arsenal knowing, think he just had friends in the Sunday league team we were playing.
