Goalkeeper Quotes
We arrived in Argentina with a lot of injured players, including our goalkeeper. Also we were unlucky to be drawn in the same group as the two tournament favourites Italy and Argentina.
Michel Patini
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
As a goalkeeper you need to be good at organising 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
Manchester United could have any goalkeeper in the world. I was a 23-year-old kid from New Jersey who, from an early age, had to cope with Tourettes Syndrome, a brain disorder that can trigger speech and facial tics, vocal outbursts and obsessive compulsive behavior.
Tim Howard
The goalkeeper always deserves the credit. But not this time. The way I kicked the ball, even my mother would have saved it.
Romario
When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, you're always only trying to make a nice goal'. But I said, 'Listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right?' It's not a lot. 'And how much space do you have above him?'
Dennis Bergkamp
Simply the best defender in the world. Whenever he is on the pitch, his presence reassures the others, from the goalkeeper to the attackers.
Thiago Silva
The goalkeeper is the jewel in the crown and getting at him should be almost impossible. It's the biggest sin in football to make him do any work.
George Graham
Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper.
Gary Speed
Every old goalkeeper loses a step at some point, but you can gain that back through experience.
Tim Howard
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
Roger Federer
Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.
Eric Cantona
I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.
Hope Solo
Rooney, into space and Anderson.... looks for Tevez, can he get away from Kilbane, Carlos Tevez, brilliantly done...can he finish...TEVEZ - HE CAN! Manchester United have the breakthrough! Superb finish. Through the goalkeeper and he rifled it in.
Jonathan Pearce
Pires now....... Bergkamp is to his left..... room for a bender - but.... AHHH!! AND IT'S IN! What a ghastly moment for Russell Hoult, who seemed to have it covered. It was bending.... it was moving in the air.... with the goalkeeper had a splendid game for West Bromwich Albion...will know he had it covered.
