"Being a good person is like being a goalkeeper. No matter how many goals you save, some people will only remember the one you missed."

Pep Guardiola : "I would say the 'keeper is the most important player on the team, more than a striker, the 'keeper is fundamental."

Ter Stegen: "People from outside don't know how difficult it is to be a Goalkeeper."

Gianluigi Buffon : "In the end, you need to be a little masochistic to be a goalkeeper. A masochist and egocentric as well."

Peter Shilton : "As a goalkeeper, you need to be good at organizing the people in front of you and motivate them. Just like a good manager in the business."

Brad Friedel : "For a goalkeeper, there is no hiding place."

Eduardo Chillida : "The qualities of a good goalkeeper are exactly the same as a good sculptor. In both professions, one should have a good relationship with time and space."

Steve Carell : "Goalies rarely get credit for winning a game, but they always get blamed for losing a game."

Ian Rush : "It's best being a striker. If you miss five, then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, later, let one in and he's a villain."

Gary Speed : "Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper."

Kevin Keegan : "You can't become a good goalkeeper without being mature."
Being a GK ain't easy as it looks! Happy International Goalkeepers Day!
