Goalkeepers' Union

From Newport's Tom King breaking a world record for football's longest-ever goal, to 41-year-old Alcoyan stopper Jose Juan being the scourge of Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

There has been a raft of goalkeeping action this week, and we've aimed to cover all the key talking points right here.

Derby's Kelle Roos also drops in with a voice note to talk through his match-winning save against Preston.

Rates and reviews always appreciated. The better ones may even be entitled to a special GKU mug.

Extraordinary stuff from messrs Carragher and Neville in weekend fixtures at Craven Cottage and Anfield, so we've stripped the comments down and, as always, attempted remain balanced in the analysis of the analysis.

Elsewhere, two landmarks were reached in the top and bottom tiers of English football. In his 94th consecutive Premier League outing, Kasper Schmeichel hit 400 at Leicester, while James McKeown now holds the record as Grimsby Town's all-time leading appearance-maker for a goalkeeper.

Keeper Capers, Clean Sheet Club and Rate My Save all back for good measure.

We're back in lockdown and back on Zoom, but Between the Sticks shall continue from our living rooms.

Following another rip-roaring weekend of FA Cup Third Round action, we focus on debutants and first first-team appearances for a number of No2 goalkeepers.

We've also managed to slip in a post-edit reaction to the eventful tie between Newport and Brighton (it was on as we were recording).

Seeing as we're all locked down once again, we recorded a quick overview of 2020 in the world of goalkeeping.

Rich runs through his key performers and emerging talents from all four tiers, we read out the top tweets on your No1 stoppers from the past 12 months and, just for an added dose of thrill-a-minute goalkeeping goodness, a quiz finishes things off.

Thank you for all your support in 2020. Onwards and upwards. Ish.
