This week’s guest is a goalkeeper who, like many others we’ve featured on the podcast before him, has a series of tales to tell.
After jetting over from Drogheda in Ireland, he tackled the bright lights of England’s capital at Chelsea before spells with Hibernian and Barnsley earned him caps for his country, The Republic of Ireland.
He’s contested derbies in London, Edinburgh and Dundee. He’s won three promotions as a player and coach.
Now goalkeeper coach at Wigan Athletic, Nick Colgan takes GKU through his eventful career and how it’s shaped him as a coach.

More recently he left his role as Goalkeeper Coach of Orlando Pirates in South Africa to take up the same position with Southampton in the Premier League.

This week’s guest is a goalkeeper who shares a similar story to that of the club he currently plays for.
Starting in the top flight with Arsenal, he somewhat unexpectedly drifted into non-league before a rapid rise back to pro football and back up the leagues into The Championship where both he and Luton Town now reside.
He’s won The Double, he’s been a Player of the Year, he’s bagged a combined three promotions and he’s even got a Golden Glove to boot.
James Shea joins GKU to talk battling for the No1 jersey, why Arsene Wenger is The Boss and the unlikely home for that Golden Glove.

This week’s guest is a man with a name destined to belong within the Goalkeepers’ Union.
After spells at Barry Town, Cardiff City and Newport County during his time as a player, it’s his career as a goalkeeper coach where this man mountain has made his name with an ever-growing reputation among British football’s coaching elite.
Now on the backroom staff at Bristol City, Pat Mountain joins GKU to talk through his coaching techniques, how he keeps goalkeepers onside and why Daniel Bentley has a chance of becoming England's No1.
