Coerver goalkeeping: For all the recent (and very welcome) trend towards “footballing” goalkeepers who can play superbly with the soccer ball at their feet, let’s face it: goalkeepers are different. Different kit, different rules, and quite often a different mindset – happier to throw themselves about (in ankle-deep mud or bone-dry conditions), happy to operate in the loneliest position on the pitch, ecstatic to see a game go to a penalty shootout.
