Before I joined the Clippers I played basketball at the University of Kentucky. There the game of basketball is very important. It is important for the fans.

It's a unique situation as well because England is a small country, so it makes it easy for the fans to travel. If we play down in London, they get buses and we'll get three or four thousand fans come down. They'll all sit in the same area and show their support for the team.
No one goalkeeper is like the next. We all have different techniques and we all play the game differently.
