Overview

They wear different kits. They train apart. They stand alone-and sometimes fall alone. But goalkeepers are not merely the last line of defense. They are commanders, scapegoats, icons, and eccentrics who live by a different code. The Goalkeeper's Union dives into the myth, madness, and mastery of football's most misunderstood role. From Lev Yashin's black-clad dominance to Gianluigi Buffon's poetic longevity, from penalty shootouts to psychic superstitions, this book explores the psychological and physical toll of guarding the goal. With vivid storytelling, exclusive insights, and tales from the grass and the glare, this is the definitive narrative history of the men and women who stand between glory and disaster.
