Patrick "Pat" Anthony Jennings OBE is a Northern Irish former football player. He played 119 games for Northern Ireland as a goalkeeper, a figure which at the time was a world record and is still a Northern Ireland record, in an international career which lasted for over 22 years. During his career Jennings played in over 1,000 top level games, and even managed to score in the 1967 FA Charity Shield.

 

Jennings spent thirteen years at White Hart Lane, where he played in 472 league games for Spurs. In August 1977, he was transferred to Tottenham's arch-rivals, Arsenal, with Tottenham thinking he was nearing the end of his career. However, Jennings saw off rivals for the goalkeeper's jersey to play for Arsenal for another eight years.

Nice. Great keeper. Even up to his last game he was better than most of the others.

 

Jennings, Banks, Grobbelaar so far....wouldn't mind seeing Ray Clemence, Peter Shilton, David Seaman, or Peter Schmeichel

My first goldfish in the 70's was called Pat Jennings. I kid you not. This is what happens when your brother gets to name a pet.
From what I recall Pat was famous for having large hands so I am guessing your fish had large fins....flippers maybe?
