| 16 April 1927 | Charlie McCormack | Hamilton Academical | In a Scottish League match against champions-elect Rangers at Douglas Park, Hamilton goalkeeper Alex Binnie suffered a broken leg and defender McCormack took over.

| 16 April 1947 | Rui | São Paulo | After injury to goalkeeper Gijo, Rui had the inglorious mission to go to the goal. It ended up taking 4 goals from Corinthians, which was one of the biggest defeats suffered by São Paulo in Majestoso.[14] | |

| 26 January 1972 | Bobby Moore | West Ham United | England's World Cup-winning captain stood in goal following an injury to Bobby Ferguson in the League Cup semi-finals, and saved a penalty from Mike Bernard, though Bernard scored from the resulting rebound and Stoke City went on to win the game and reach the final.[25] | |

| Alan Young | ||||
| 7 May 1982 | Alain Giresse | Bordeaux | 0 minutes | Club president Claude Bez decided to protest against the French Football Federation for issuing a one-year ban on regular goalkeeper Dragan Pantelić for kicking a linesman, so he put Giresse in goal for the final league game of the season against Nantes. As part of the protest, Giresse was not actually named as a goalkeeper, so he was not permitted to use his hands. He conceded five goals in the opening sixty minutes before being replaced by Marius Trésor.[32] |
| Marius Trésor | ||||
| 30 April 1983 | Paul Hegarty | Dundee United | During a league match away to Morton, United goalkeeper Hamish McAlpine suffered a hip injury.[33] He carried on playing until United were 3–0 ahead, when he was replaced in goal by defender Hegarty.[33] United went on to win 4–0 and won the league championship that season.[33] | |

| 11 April 1992 | Joe Dunne | Gillingham | Gillingham had already had David Crown dismissed when their goalkeeper Harvey Lim was sent off along with Blackpool's Andy Garner for fighting.

Sporting won the resulting replay 3–0 at the Parc des Princes in Paris.[51] | |
| 21 October 1995 | Vinnie Jones | Wimbledon | A sending off to Paul Heald with all three substitutions used meant that Jones volunteered to keep goal for the "crazy gang" in the remainder of the game at Newcastle United.

After the match, Alex Ferguson heavily criticised the Leeds players for raising their game at Old Trafford, which in turn angered title rivals Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan to the extent that he infamously fumed that "When you do that with footballers like he said about Leeds... I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimations when he said that... I would love it if we beat them! Love it!" Radebe had replaced John Lukic in goal after the goalkeeper suffered a concussion against Middlesbrough the previous month.[25] | |

In the game against SC Freiburg, first-choice goalkeeper Georg Koch was injured and the substitute goalkeeper Uwe Gospodarek replaced him.

In the 59th minute, Levan Kobiashvili scored against Schjønberg to give SC Freiburg a 2–1 lead, but Schjønberg otherwise kept his sheet clean. He crowned his achievement with a saved penalty kick, when he held the shot from Alexander Iashvili in the 84th minute.[60] |
| 27 May 2000 | Robbie Winters | Aberdeen | 100 minutes | In the final of the Scottish Cup against Rangers at Hampden Park, Aberdeen goalkeeper Jim Leighton, playing in his last-ever match, was substituted two minutes in after suffering a broken jaw in a challenge from Rod Wallace, which required the insertion of metal plates into his face.[61] With Aberdeen having chosen not to put a substitute goalkeeper on the bench, forward Winters took over in goal; Rangers won 4–0.[62] |

| 9 November 2002 | Jan Koller | Borussia Dortmund | A red card for Jens Lehmann against Bayern Munich with Dortmund manager Matthias Sammer already having used all three substitutions left the 2.02 m (6 ft 7+1⁄2 in)-tall Koller to fill in as goalkeeper for the last 24 minutes.
