The Outsider Quotes

“The danger all goalkeepers face is thinking too much, that the nature of their position gives them time to dwell on doubts.”

“Maybe that’s why goalkeepers tend to be reflective types, prone to introversion, trying, perhaps, to rationalise why such unfair things happen to such undeserving people. The question, I suppose, is whether gloomy prognosticators are drawn to goalkeeping or whether goalkeeping makes them like that.”
― Jonathan Wilson, The Outsider: A History of the Goalkeeper
