You may not have heard of Sutton United — they play in England’s National League, which is the fifth tier of British soccer. But it’s time you got to know Wayne Shaw, whom they call the Roly Poly Goalie, as seen below. Call him England’s Jared Lorenzen, I guess.
Shaw unfortunately was forced to resign as Sutton United’s goalie today, for the most England of reasons — eating a meat pie during a match.

He wasn’t eating while actually on the field, although that would have been epic.
