Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is in line for an award for an outstanding save as part of the Premier League's 20-year celebrations.

The flying Finn's amazing double stop against Manchester United in October 2001 has been recognised as one of the finest pieces of goalkeeping seen since the inception of competition.
Kevin Nolan and Michael Ricketts scored that day to grab the headlines in a memorable 2-1 win for the Trotters, but Jaaskelainen played a huge part in that success.
It was his heroics that kept out close range efforts from Paul Scholes and Andy Cole to ensure that the score remained level at half-time, much to the disbelief of 75,000 fans packed into Old Trafford.
Fans can re-live that moment and vote for Jaaskelainen's save now by clicking on this link.
The winner of 'Save of the 20 Seasons' will be announced at a special awards night on Tuesday 15th May, and other prizes will be handed out at the same time.
