Apart from me, that is ~ I was a goalkeeper in my soccer-playing days. So, did you know, was that fine follksinger Noel Murphy?, who I believe played for Ireland schoolboys. He & I kept oppo goals in a scratch kickabout at the Norwich Folk Festival once.

So I collect goalkepers ~ Che Guevara, Arthur Conan Doyle, A H Clough {poet of Say Not The Struggle...), Pope John-Paul II, Roy Hattersley, Albert Camus, all Three Tenors (Jose Carreras signed amateur forms for Barcelona), Vladimir ['Lolita'] Nabokov, Boris Becker {who was offered professional training but opted for tennis after much thought}, 30s World Heavyweight Champion boxer Max Schmelling, Yevtushenko, Iglesias, David Mellor ~~~ and A E Housman's A Shropshire Lad ~ poem 17 begins "Twice a week the winter thorough, Here stood I to keep the goal".

Anyone got any more for me?
