In what sounds like one of the more bizarre games in history—well, scratch that, considering the competition, but a very, very odd game nonetheless—Chelsea saw not one, but two goalkeepers taken to the casaulty ward with nasty head injuries during its away date with mighty Reading. Ultra-stud defender John Terry finished the match between the sticks.
This being the fabulous 21st Century, YouTube already has all the grisly footage: this clip shows Terry taking over the gloves and the improvised MASH unit treating the Blues' fallen second-choice portero. Aiyiyi.

In retrospect, it's easy to see that Hunt should have been sent off, but I have a modicum of sympathy for Riley. In the full-speed video replay, it's a bit hard to see what happened. In the first minute of a match every Reading supporter would have circled in red on the calendar, a red card would have been a match-altering decision. Of course, it now looks obvious that he made the wrong (non-)call.
