Those keepers dont look big but they are both 6 foot. Ive met Barthez in the Crowne Plaza in Manchester and he's bigger than he looks on the pitch.

I agree size isnt everything BUT there is being small and there is being REALLY small. Admitedly ive never seen the lad play but he looked about 9 stone wet through to me, I reckon some of the experienced pros would bash him up from set plays.

Randy is a good build for a keeper, he's a big old unit.

For me your keeper must be 6 foot, 12 stone or bigger. You need some presence. Only my opinion but its SUCH an important position.
