Keeper Phillips’ penalty heroics send Rovers wild

NO player will be more grateful to the FA Cup this week than Steve Phillips.

The Bristol Rovers goalkeeper has used the competition to win over supporters and build a reputation as one of England’s top penalty stoppers.

Last week he saved from Fulham’s Jimmy Bullard as Rovers won a shoot-out to book a place in round four. Then, at Underhill on Saturday, he made a decisive third-minute penalty save from Jason Puncheon.
