    Well it seems like we are not at a sufficient level to be able to assess goalkeeping correctly, so who wouldn't want to be educated by someone who has played in that position at a high level, and would be willing to impart their wisdom.

    It seems that you have someone in mind already WJ, so I think you should contact them immediately to get them on here :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Didn't we have someone on here that had been a goalie at a high level? In South Africa? Perhaps I'm incorrectly thinking of Billy, or merging him with another oldie, FatBoab(?) Then again, might be talking pish again.

    Our goalkeeping coach is the smallest bloke at the club and has never been a keeper. Always thought this was a problem but hey who am I to moan. He was a football coach at Elche and cane through the ranks as a badged coach. He started specialising in keeping and before long Orta snapped him up and took him to Boro and been with him ever since? He was the contact that got us Kiko in the first place and the guy who offloaded him to Elche?

    Never been sure what the criteria is for our keepers as we did have 2 England youth and U21s on our books both gone. We brought in a great keeper who was pushed out Kamil Myazek, we brought in Elia Caprile who was even better and just selling him to Bari, we brought in Meslier around the time of Myazek, we brought in Van Den Heuval, we brought in Aboo for the U17s we then brought Klaesson in who everybody likes except a few on here. So I have no idea what our plan is for keepers. I accept that having young keepers is a risk but also having young players is a rusk in general but there are some very good young players all over

    Cooper skerry - Leeds united



    Cooper Skerry - Leeds United

    I was introduced to Glan Letheren in January 2019 in Queensland, Australia where I was playing for Brisbane City Football Club. Glan put me through a training session with some other Goal Keepers. Glan was convinced I had the ability to play in the UK so through his network of football contacts he was able to get me trials for Academy positions at Swansea FC and Manchester United the same month. The feedback from both these clubs was very positive so my family and I made the move to the UK mid-2019.

    By the time we arrived in England Glan had made enquiries and found out that Leeds United Football Club Academy still had an opening for a First-Year Academy Goal Keeper. Glan travelled to Leeds with us and introduced me to the coaching staff. After a trial over a couple of weeks, I was offered a 2-year scholarship position in the Academy.

    Glan’s contacts and advice put me in the position I am in now. His assessment of my abilities and introductions to the Academies opened the door for me to come to the UK. I am now playing with a great club and learning from the best coaches. This year since being at Leeds I was called into an Australian selection camp for U19’s. I am very excited about my future football career and I have Glan to thank for making it all possible.
