Nick, thanks very much for joining us.

Just before you came on, I was having a little look at an interview you did a little while ago where you sort of built your ultimate goalkeeper.

Diving De Gea you had, reflexes Schmeichel, handling Cech, distribution Edison, positioning Courtois.

Do you remember?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What have you got there about it?

No, no, no, I'm not quibbling with your choices.

It was just interesting seeing you do that.

It sounded like you're a real student of the game, like you really have gone through video footage, watched all these guys, and others I'm sure, really closely.

Is that the kind of guy you are?

So when did that start then, would you say?

How old?

Are you able to give us any examples of things you've picked up simply from watching live games, from looking at a goalkeeper and seeing what he does?

Yeah.

Well, my dad is in his left foot, if that's all right.

Yeah.

So who did you love then as a kid?

It sounds like Schmeichel might have been one of your first.

What are the disadvantages then?

Or what are the challenges of being a big goalkeeper?
