I was a goalkeeper at Crewe as a kid but piled on pounds when I stopped training every day.
Adrian Lewis
I never look at the goalkeeper's eyes.
Alex Morgan
We need to give our goalkeepers the same level of training that we've given to our outfield players.
Alex Scott
Goalkeeper is a very influential position, and that is becoming recognised now. If you think about it, any error that we make can be fatal for the team. It can lead to a goal and cause a defeat.
Alisson
Play the pass at the right moment - not on a dry pitch and not hitting it hard enough. We don't have to accept it; that was a mistake - no goalkeeper should dribble in this situation.
I like to show my ability on the field. I'm not one to show off with words. I'm really looking forward to the chance. I'm a calm goalkeeper, and above all, I've got a real desire to win. When I get on the pitch, I give everything for the team, everything for the shirt.
I am really happy with the increased recognition that goalkeepers are getting now. I'm glad to be a leading part of that.
If you look at my professional history as a goalkeeper, I'm not somebody who makes many.
My son was a goalkeeper in soccer, and he luckily never had much head trauma. He never had any concussions or anything. I really wanted him to play football, but now I'm thankful he didn't.
Ann McKee
Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or.
Antonio Conte
In modern day football, you've got to play in different positions. I've played in numerous positions, apart from centre-back and goalkeeper, I think.
Ashley Young
Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.
Bjork
Petr Cech is one of the finest goalkeepers I have seen and he has proved that in the Premier League.
Bruce Grobbelaar
Alisson is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he deserves to be put on that pedestal. Him and Manuel Neuer are probably the best two when it comes to angles - those two are the very best in the world at getting their angles right, they don't have to dive because they aren't out of position.
I enjoyed 13 successful seasons at Anfield, becoming the most decorated goalkeeper in league history. But I believe the match-fixing scandal arose because the press did not like this person they perceived as arrogant and who had a reputation for clowning around in games. Goalkeepers aren't supposed to do that.
Liverpool had African players from the '50s and '60s. There were goalkeepers in the early days from South Africa. Then in 1981 there was a guy who came to Anfield. They say 'who is this guy' and it is me; I am African.
If a goalkeeper can save you 15-20 points a season, his value is high. It's like a striker scoring 20 goals a season.
If you asked all the goalkeepers in my era, they will tell you that they were worth a lot more than the price they were bought.
Any goalkeeper that's going to play for Liverpool is going to be looked at and scrutinised - every shot, everything about it is going to be scrutinised.
Since myself and a few others like Pepe Reina, we haven't had a goalkeeper who has commanded his area as well as Alisson.
Sometimes I played as a goalkeeper with my brother and his friends - they were all older, and nobody wanted to go in goal, so it had to be me!
In the past, I'd felt I didn't want to try something because I might get shot down for it. I'd tried it with England, and the goalkeeper - I think it was against Poland - saved it. This time, it came off.
I train every day to be the best goalkeeper in the world; that is my aim.
English football is different, especially for a goalkeeper. It's more aggressive, more physical. It's far, far harder. The ball is in the air more, and you get pushed about. And the referees don't blow anything!
Of course, getting to be No. 1 keeper in the world is a tough ask because there are loads of goalkeepers out there and some very good ones, too. But I always try to give my very best to reach that standard.
Every goalkeeper has their own strong points and qualities. What I like to do is focus on every keeper. You can pick bits out of every keeper where they are particularly strong, and you can learn from things like that.
I'm lucky enough to be mentally strong, which I think is fundamental for a goalkeeper.
When you do things wrong, even a couple of mistakes, the press has the right to criticise. Much more so when you're a goalkeeper - who remain in the spotlight forever.
As a goalkeeper, I'm well aware that any mistake can be magnified by the fans. But it's true that here at Manchester United, there's added pressure.
I think the first attacker has the ball, starts from the back, you can see everything, and you have to play with the feel of a midfielder, not a goalkeeper.
I consider all aspects of being a goalkeeper as fundamental in the development of the side as a whole.
As a goalkeeper, it is a challenge to face Messi.
At the end of the day, we're goalkeepers, and we live with making mistakes. We learn from a young age that you can make a mistake at any point.
Being the Manchester United goalkeeper is one of the most difficult jobs in football when you look at the size of the club and the goalkeepers who have been here before. There is a lot of pressure on you, but I have worked hard to cope with that.
It is great that a goalkeeper as good as Iker has said that I could be the best of them all.
I know what it means to play for a big club. Big clubs, it's like that: if you win, everything is good. If you lose, it's your fault, especially defenders and goalkeepers.
I think I chose wisely. When it came down to it, I knew I was a better goalkeeper than I was a bowler.
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?'
How could you have a soccer team if all were goalkeepers? How would it be an orchestra if all were French horns?
Courtois was rated highly enough by Chelsea to go back and replace Petr Cech, one of the best goalkeepers of modern times. He has lived up to his reputation.
If we win 1-0, I don't care if the goalkeeper scores.
When I was nine or ten, I had a chat with my coach and I asked if I could play in goal. I started playing as a goalkeeper and it was love at first sight. Only a goalkeeper knows how it is.
I help a lot in the build up and the long balls as well. But mainly I would say a goalkeeper must be a calm person to cope with the pressure to handle when you make a mistake. I think that's really important and it helps you a lot to develop your skills.
I always train as a goalkeeper. I never train outside the goal.
When a goalkeeper makes a mistake, there is no one to save the goal.
The role of a goalkeeper in Pep's team is like the 11th outfield player on the pitch, in terms of the build-up, the pressing. I think it's more difficult. There is a bigger responsibility because you can't afford to make any mistakes. If you do, it probably ends in an opposition goal.
Brazil is well served for goalkeepers, many who have not been to the World Cup are very good.
I used to play as a 'goleiro-linha,' it's a goalkeeper that plays a lot with his feet.
I think modern football has evolved a lot. Goalkeepers do several things during the game.
We study the shooters of the opponents - the team, the goalkeeping coach and the other goalkeepers.
