Blackpool and Scotland international Matt Jilks talks to Goalkeeper Magazine

We have an exclusive interview with Blackpool FC’s Matt Gilks, who talks to us about fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a successful goalkeeper, what it was like to enter the Premier League and how he’s overcome an injury which threatened to end his career. Neville Southall interviews Manchester United’s legendary goalkeeper Alex Stepney. He discusses how Sir Matt Busby signed him, what is was like playing with football’s first celebrity, George Best and how the club came to terms with their grief in the aftermath of the Munich Air Disaster. Talking of Big Nev, we report live from the first Neville Southall Bootcamp which took place at the beginning of September at Bisham Abbey –  people from all over the UK attended the event and returned home in the evening feeling like goalkeeping champions after a day’s teaching from one of the football’s heroes. More opinion, debate and chat from Boz and Guy of Goalkeeper Podcast fame, we interview Goalie Snapper Bernd Mueller, a football photographer for the Bundesliga, and see what it’s like to get paid to photograph your heroes.

Alex Stepney holds his goalkeeping bible

Paul Brown lists his favourite fictional goalkeepers of all time, whilst Guy Kilty explores whether all goalkeeper debuts are as lacklustre as Man United’s David de Gea‘s. Another must-read from Lee Reade who outlines the ultimate pre-match warm up for a goalkeeper and Adam Bate explains the rise of the Sweeper Keeper, a method of ‘keeping that evolved from FIFA’s back pass rule introduced in 1992. If all that isn’t enough, we have more reviews, more news and more views than ever before!
