Goalkeeper Talk

A site every goalkeeping fan should visit

I’m always a fan of random facts and interesting stories from around the globe. Furthermore I also love everything to do with goalkeeping. So the following site suits both my interests and is one I think everyone can enjoy visiting.

If you haven’t seen www.goalkeepersaredifferent.com yet, you are missing out on a thoroughly entertaining and unique look at goalkeeping. Websites about goalkeeping are few and far between, so it is a real pleasure to have access to one with such a rich amount of information. So what will you find on Goalkeepers Are Different?

• Profiles of some of the great goalkeepers throughout history (going as far back as 1910!!)
• The history of how the goalkeeping world has changed, from keeper’s jerseys, to the design of the goalposts
• Quirky facts such as keeper nicknames, goalscoring goalkeepers and bizarre goalie injuries
• An extensive recommended reading list of goalkeeping books

The bullet points really don’t do the site justice. It is huge, excellently researched and well put together.

So grab a cup of your favourite beverage, head over to Goalkeepers Are Different and read some fascinating insights into the most important position in football.
