It was not just shots on the pitch that El Salvador goalkeeper Ricardo Guevara had to contend with after becoming the only man to concede double figures in a single World Cup finals match.

The then 20-year-old had to contend with real shots, from real guns, in the aftermath of his 1982 World Cup nightmare in Spain, where Hungary beat his country 10-1.

The humiliation left its mark - even for a country with little World Cup tradition - and Guevara was ridiculed, abused and even attacked when he returned to Central America after his country's first-round elimination.
