191: Between the Sticks #125

Goalkeepers' Union

Glory be, where to start with the madness from another eventful few days in goalkeeping punditry?

Perhaps we should instead focus on glorious performances from Taye Ashby-Hammond, Luke Simpson and Mike Cooper - three goalkeepers all attempting to write giantkilling history and all coming so close to a perfect hat-trick. In the end, Ashby-Hammond was the one triumphant with Boreham Wood seeing off Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Edouard Mendy's 18-month rise to stardom continues with Senegal's first-ever AFCON trophy and an accolade for being named the tournament's top goalkeeper, Gabaski's heroics meant it was nearly him an Egypt taking centre stage, and David de Gea picked up January's Player of the Month in the Premier League - the first goalkeeper to win the award in six years.
