If you go to Spain and ask, 'Who has the best goalkeepers?' they will say, 'The Spanish.' If you go to Germany, they will say German goalkeepers, and Italy the same. You go to England and they say, 'God knows!'

Robert Green

There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.

Tim Howard

England has always been famous for great goalkeepers, before I came. We had good goalkeepers, but we didn't have the big world-class 'keeper, maybe.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

You'll always find that goalkeepers are a team within the team, and I've always had good relationships with the others, which is important because nobody understands the mindset of a goalkeeper like the other goalkeepers.

Wojciech Szczesny

In Europe, you are taught to keep the ball out of the net any way possible. That's why Germany and Spain have the best goalkeepers in the world. They give young goalkeepers a chance and accept they are going to make mistakes. Long term, that will reap huge rewards.

Kasper Schmeichel

Goalkeepers aren't born today until they're in their late 20s or 30s and sometimes not even then. Or so it would appear. To me anyway. Don't you think the same?

Kevin Keegan

When we are thinking in an attacking moment, I want the goalkeeper thinking, for that, he is the first. The same when we are thinking defensively - I want our strikers to be thinking, 'We need to protect the goalkeepers.' I want those two moments to feel the same for all players.

Unai Emery

We need to give our goalkeepers the same level of training that we've given to our outfield players.

Alex Scott

You look at situations like Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech at Chelsea, two of the best goalkeepers in the world at the same club, one of them's going to be unhappy.

Kasper Schmeichel

I have the biggest respect for Petr Cech. He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, so I think putting him and me in the same team is not the healthiest thing in the world.

Thibaut Courtois

Yes, obviously goalkeepers do the same training sessions and know about things - they are the only ones who can speak about being a goalkeeper because they have done the job and experienced it and know what it is like to make an error and be criticised.
