  Routinely regarded as madmen, lifesavers and villains (often within the course of the same match), goalkeepers have always been looked upon as a breed apart - what other profession could unite the likes of Banks, Jennings and Yashin with Grobbelaar, Higuita, David Icke and the Pope? From Fatty Foulke to Albert Camus, Julio Iglesias to Vladimir Nabakov, there's something about a keeper that's often eccentric, serene, intellectual, vulnerable and very, very lonely. This book takes a light-hearted look at the pressures goalkeepers face, the dangers they confront, the pitfalls the brave and the methods they use to survive.
