And look what Kiraly made before the Austrian team: his 100% success in the combat phase, with 23 precise angles, three impressive saves and keep clean sheet. Among them, most notably the situation reflex to clearance by Zlatko Junuzovic's finish ten minutes before the end of the first half.

Coach Bernd Storck of Hungary said: "Speak what young and old here. Gabor was chosen because he's so good, because he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world today".

Hungary take up to 18 years since the debut of Kiraly to reach the final round of a major tournament. And over that time, Kiraly was not the goal of leaving the hometown team. In the players off the pitch after the match against Austria on and have left their stay Kiraly. He played regularly for three decades and two centuries. There are youth day FIFA 1998 games saw the name Kiraly. Now they grow up, go to work, get married, have children and Kiraly is still there. Many people ask if this is the last season yet, Kiraly said: "Do not say astonishment, I was not there for the World Cup."

Kiraly has come a long way, and he never wanted to stop. That way starting in Szombathely, where he was born on April Fool's Day 1976. His father was a forward capital of the local club Haladas. This is also where Kiraly entrepreneurship. Kiraly very good parents make, but at age 19 he was suspended for ten matches for the referee throws the ball in after a defeat.

In 1997, Hungary Kiraly to leave to Germany for Hertha Berlin. Kiraly first name is widely known that when he joined the club in the Champions League two years later. Kiraly's career also has the leg at Crystal Palace, West Ham, Aston Villa, Burnley, Bayer Leverkusen and Munich in 1860 before he returned to his former club Haladas.

Kiraly was a European, but he has... the blood of those crazy South American goalkeeper. He often looked to the side and threw the ball in the opposite order to trick the opponent striker. While in Berlin, he often took the game to throw the ball hard into a corner... it's the home team to come up and start a new phase ball. Hertha coach warned him not to do that in the game play, but the fans to see Berlin is like previous episode adventure game of Kiraly.

In the final game of the Bundesliga with Hamburg, Hertha Berlin meanwhile has definitely won the third place, the fans shouted: "Throw on the bar to go" after pretending Kiraly will do it. When a cross Kiraly summary, the courtyard was silent. He looked at the bench, smiled slyly and then threw the ball up normally.Speaking to Kiraly, could not speak to outfit playing his unique. He always came off the bench with long sleeves and long pants, so new nickname is "the keeper pajamas". Long sleeves, many still wearing the keeper, but the pants are rare capital. Kiraly has also always wear that during two decades of professional competition. His reason was simple: The first is support... cold, the second is support... pain in the ground phase. "Even nice to do, where I have a model," Kiraly said so when someone told outfit his play does not look good at all. "I have tried wearing short time in Germany, but it is not right. Finally, the result is more important than appearance."

Initially, Kiraly wearing only black trousers. But then a match and that, no clean black pants anymore, so he had to wear gray trousers. Winning team, he was wearing old pants and unbeaten for eight matches after that. So he only wore long gray then. The first lucky pants that, Kiraly is hanging at home. He wore it to more than 100 times, and that it was filled with tear frayed.This is not the only superstitious habit of Kiraly. Because inside the jersey, Kiraly always wearing a black T-shirt-shaped lined... tiger. You always have to be the first to leave the bus, always worn on the left front gravure and listening to It's My Life before each game. Ie far, Kiraly has heard... 500 times briefly famous rock song Bon Jovi.

He says he has tried to change a habit, but every change is felt uncomfortable. But maybe, this time he did not do anything to change. Such habits helped him go down in history as the oldest goalkeeper finalists Euro. So he has also played well. And the image of a goalkeeper wearing pajamas ran up tens of meters to celebrate a goal by teammate will remain in the minds of many people.

Sometimes do not need to impress beautiful, just... stand is.
