But there's no doubting it's one of the most important jobs on the football pitch.

You need agility and bravery to be a keeper.

And lucky them - you can even handle the ball, but only in the penalty box!

Who'd be a keeper?

It can get lonely between the sticks.

You need to be always ready and alert for that crucial save - especially if you haven't had much to do during the game.

Now that goalkeepers can't pick up backpasses there is more emphasis on the control and kicking skills of a keeper.

There's no hiding place!
