“As a goalkeeper you need to be good at organizing the people in front of you and motivating them. You need to see what’s going on and react to the threats. Just like a good manager in business.”
Peter Shilton, England Goalkeeper who famously suffered Maradona’s “Hand of God” in the 1986 World Cup
“Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That’s the nature of being a goalkeeper.”
Gary Speed – Welsh International player (1990-2004)
“If you’re a goalkeeper, it doesn’t matter what you save the ball with – if you keep it out, it’s not a goal.”
Mark Lawrenson – Republic of Ireland International player (1977-1987) / Professional soccer commentator.
