When it comes to football, the strikers take all the accolades. But the real show-stoppers are the men who guard the posts. Generally unheralded but the real heroes. A look at some of the best the European championship has seen over the years.

The Spanish football team can rightfully claim to be one of the major powers in world football today. But, for their fans it was a 44 year long wait. The Spaniards invariably choked on the big stage and with world class players never performed to their potential till 2008.

As hundreds of people gather, young children are thrown from the top of a 30-foot temple. This is as an annual ritual in Karnataka's Bagalkot district.
