 A "terrible error" by Srníček in a September 1994 match against Liverpool resulted in a goal for Liverpool striker Ian Rush, ending Newcastle's perfect start to the season and leading Glenn Moore of "The Independent" to question how much longer the goalkeeper would remain in the first team.During Srníček's league suspension in 1995, former Reading man Shaka Hislop assumed position as the team's goalkeeper.Later an injury to Hislop enabled Srníček to return to the first team, upon which he entered into an impressive run of form.
