Episode 22 and the boys enter the world of goalkeeping. This week Richard and Jamie interview Swansea City FC Goalkeeper Coach Dean Thornton.

Dean has a fascinating story about how he became a top level GK Coach after quitting football at 19 years of age. Dean went on to be a coach at QPR, Swindon, Taiwan National side, MK Dons and presently Swansea City under Manager Russell Martin.

We discuss all things from what key things to look for in a Goalkeeper to the modern day Goalkeeper and styles of play that has changed the role somewhat.
