I’ve managed to get the one and only Ryan Reynolds my pleasure I was walking down the street suddenly there was a hood over my head and I was thrown in a van I think it’s safe to say that just about everything orbiting rexam has escalated quite quickly this is a bit of

A goalkeeping show this one’s slightly different goalkeeping is like my second language one of the greatest moments of my life is due to it last second save I could probably say there’s 10 to 15 times that the suit has saved me from a serious hospital visit where is he now oh we’re

That doesn’t mean he’s dead Mark Walking in the Air you did it way better than me no goalie he is go literally like our soul left our body in that moment when everybody just started to flood under the field was Van Wilder based on olle Palmer it could be Jesus right who would

Play Deadpool out of the rexim squad oh that’s a good question a little piece of trivia that no one should know but I played goalkeeper for four years this is the most romantic sport on planet what a say from markard massive shout out to mystery football for sending me over these two

Mystery football shirts absolute Legends got one two to unpack can’t wait to see what I’ve got before we do let me tell you how it works easy as one two three first of all head over to mystery football. co.uk Link in the B step one choose your size from the range of

Options you might want to go a size up cuz football shirts tell you what they come off different step two after you selected your size you can leave in the comment box below the teams that you don’t want Chester let’s be honest step three sit back relax and wait for your box to

Arrive now that’s out of the way let’s get to the unboxing I’m nervous excited oh Mar speak of a French accent now love that what a kit that is tell you what this might make an appearance on the backdrop in the next few episodes that’s a proper kit that I’m delighted

With that make sure you check out mystery fo. co.uk to get yours too now back to the yours M away podcast enjoy the show what a save from Mark Howard hello everyone uh I can’t quite believe I’m saying this but I’ve managed to get the one and only Ryan Reynolds on

The show what am I doing this is the yours M away podcast by the way and those that don’t know I’m Mark Howard Ryan thank you so much for coming on my pleasure is I was walking down the street suddenly there was a hood over my

Head and I was thrown in a van I can confirm that didn’t happen I know I thought I was going to be shot and killed uh but this is much better yeah no obviously uh I want to get into a few things with rexam and that and uh a

Little bit of goalkeeping talk but I love it uh once again thank you for coming on but congratulations on the five EMS oh my God thanks yeah that was wow crazy I know yeah from a Small Town Football Club to five em yeah it’s escalated quite quickly yeah I I would I

Think it’s safe to say that just about everything orbiting rexam has escalated quite quickly um uh uh not excluding of course the uh the emms and all that sort of stuff so um yeah it’s been a little bit of a ride I got to say it’s been

Wild I um I was so proud of everyone uh on the am WIS but it’s particularly the the the team embedded on the ground and Rex them and you know you see them they’re shoving their cameras in your face all the time and um um those are

The folks that really deserve it I mean they’re just there in and out day after day they they never leave and they they work so hard to find these stories and and you know and and I always say that in rexam the stories are kind of growing

On the trees I mean they’re just it’s everywhere you look there’s something to talk about and it’s it’s a pretty awesome place it is the stories behind the the town and the people that have made the show what it is really because there’s been so many other football

Films that are dire yeah or the acting of them playing football is terrible or other TV shows that show the The Fluffy side of football reom shows all of it yeah well frankly it’s it’s I would say it’s it’s as centered on that on the town and the people that inhabit that

Town as much as it is the football club um I would say the least of which it’s focused on uh Rob and myself I mean you know we we try to um really Center the town uh we only kind of jump in in the

Show if we if we really need to but it’s uh um half the time it’s we’re just obligatorily putting ourselves in the show just to you know make sure that that the presence is there but it’s we don’t even need to be there and it’s just it’s as entertaining as you could

Possibly imagine and so moving with Humphrey narrating as well Humphrey boy oh boy that guy’s that guy’s special I tell you as one of the lads in the dressing we love hrey everyone loves hrey who doesn’t love exactly like you just see him R and his big coat he’s

Down to his shins and you just want to give him a cuddle all the time he’s so he’s kind he’s like weirdly and inexplicably heartbreaking yeah he is yeah love hum right obviously this is a bit of a goalkeeping show this one’s slightly different goalkeeping is like my second language it’s

Not so I’m going to uh I’ve got some quick fire questions for you they shouldn’t make any sense to you let’s hope they don’t let’s do it right so catch or Parry catch love that good start are you play out from the back or kick it long

Oh oh oh kick it long baby further away from the goal as possible yes get them out of there yeah don’t don’t want to give it to people like toes at the back do we [ __ ] that give everyone a ball that way we all have one and uh everyone

Wins I don’t know about that where the villains of football by the way the goali is we don’t want people to win that’s true that’s true that’s why I stay out of the main football operations right obviously as a massive goalkeeper who is your favorite ever goalkeeper my favorite ever

Goalkeeper I don’t know Mark you’re tough to beat there buddy I’m not actually joking because Mark you have something that a lot of guys don’t and I know you probably don’t you’re British so you hate praise but let me Heap some on you there you possess a kind of

Tender grit that you bring to that dressing room each and every day that makes it I think the best dressing room in all of professional sports not just football um not in Wales not just in the UK but everywhere and um and the way you handle yourself when you come into games

As needed and you show up and you deliver that’s that’s some you’re breathing rare air the way you do that and the way you lead by example and um I I know I speak for Rob mhan when I say that uh probably 50% of the times that

We’ve been moved to tear when it comes to rexim uh those tear have been in some way shape or form authored by you apologies yeah no in in a good way though so anyway all right enough of that I’ll uh treat you like a [ __ ]

Bastard from here on out no we can go back to me in a minute I really enjoyed that yeah right so Head tennis or two touch oh God this would make no sense that’s a tricky not Head tennis I Head tennis I mean it’s why not it’s fun of

Course uh movie or box set this one’s for you oh oh oh movie you have to say movie course I don’t trust me uh we both have stressful jobs Mark right uh and then finally I’ve got right it’s the last minute of a game you should know

That about this right yeah you can either as a goalkeeper save the match winning penalty or score the match winning goal there’s kind of a big storyline that went on last year I know I would say that I would say that’s hard to miss say that one of the greatest moments of

My life is due to a last second save yeah has to be after the last year yeah that was that’s the that’s the moment but when you see a goalkeeper score a goal it’s always kind of an amazing yeah like there’s no I don’t know if

There’s a if you could flash fry and then inject just a reel of goalkeepers scoring goals into my veins I would die a very happy man I’m exact I dream about it nightly yeah imagine scoring a goal that would be unbelievable imagine scoring anything yeah true true that

Right uh on to the goalkeeping side uh I’m not expecting to know a lot about but you do know a lot about the people I want to talk about the reom goalkeepers you worked with and just a brief sentence or whatever you want hi everyone really hope you’re enjoying

The podcast this episode is brought to you by Invisalign clear aligners do it for you and do it right this sounds like a motto All of Us goalkeepers know a lot about I’m over halfway through my invisaline journey and I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about my smile I

Hand in hand or glove in glove you get the expertise of an invisaline provider now let’s dive back into the Podcast so we’ll start with Christian Dibble oh yeah exactly that fa everyone makes this face dibs is the most loveliest person in the world one of the best guys uh I’ve met out there dibs is I love dibs I still keep in touch with dibs um and his

Dad weirdly Andy D yeah um yeah when dibs left I I wrote uh I wrote obviously I wrote dibs a long note but I also wrote his dad a note too because his dad did something great in raising him he really showed us you know what he’s made

Of you know in many many ways and uh uh he’s a guy that you always love to have around I I am I I’m a forever uh Christian Dibble Stan love that right Leo yeah the best yeah I mean like I don’t we we haven’t had a there’s no

You’re not going to like good people yeah Rob Lon one of the best I mean one of the best I feel so bad for him he’s had such a rough luck of injuries but I feel like he’s turning the corner now and he’s going to be back better than

Ever yep uh fuzzy love him oh my God what a maniac too just an absolute Beast he’s got so much energy by I don’t understand how he ended up a professional athlete though he just seems like he should only be on TV yeah true 247 like I’m convinced he sleeps in a

Full Sprint with his eyes wide open probably with a camera following yes the camera following his little goalkeeping GoPro camera everywhere I mean he’s wearing them and crazy so Brazen too I mean I would I I don’t know I suppose it’s a it’s a a bit of a life lesson in

In being Fearless in Failure because if you’re going to wear a GoPro and you’re going to he’s you know and I appreciate that he shows the L’s as much as he shows the dubies yeah all you’re you’re opening yourself up as a goalie anyway so why not show everyone and just own it

Hell yeah yeah fuzzy was Unreal and then obviously big Arthur love Arthur he’s a cheat code by the way yeah for any goalkeeper out there please watch Arthur he’s a cheat Arthur yeah unable 66 the highest jump test I’ve ever football insane and such a great attitude I met

His brother Brian uh the other day agent I met his whole circle he’s a great great guy he’s got a good head on his shoulders too super young and like he’s so laidback but he’s got everything he’s got every ability that you’d ever want from a guy he really kind of uh came

Into his own quickly but like you know you saw him in that first couple of matches where they were I think there were just some Cup games or something I’m not even sure if it was an exhibition game or something but it was it was wild to see him mature sure as

Quickly as he did yeah but he’s got guys like you to talk to and hang out with and you know lead lead by example we’ve got another young good goalkeeper at the club as well Luke mcnicholas I’m sure the club and the fans will see a lot of

Him going forward and that uh and then obviously myself as well I wanted to chuck me in there but you’ve already biged me up quite a lot yeah I did I did I would never big time you Mark I uh yeah I brought it for you buddy right uh

What do you know about Goldie gloves Ryan what do I know about goalie gloves um wow let me think surely nothing well they’re very um goalie gloves very fluffy you know warm warm yeah chunky do you think that they’d make a good addition to Deadpool suit could you

Imagine just like in that perfectly Sleek suit that there isn’t even like a just a millimeter of room in there and then just these massive hands I think it’d be kind of awesome I think it would look uh look the part in the film anyway

I’m going to write it in right now yeah yeah probably catching a bullet or a grenade or something course you know what that’s like it how how do you handle when that ball like who on rexam AFC would you say has the hardest kick Jordan Davis I thought it wasis and it’s

An absolute missile that moves at you every time and he’s literally trying to hurt you with every shot wow so it’s either the funnest time or the worst time depending on the day whether you’re watching or a Target yeah so on smashes itly Paul mullen’s finishing is ridiculous but the way that Jordan

Strikes a ball scary at times Ms yeah Maniacs all of them all of them yeah uh is there any comparisons to the Deadpool costume then and a football kit is it like actually made for its purpose or is it just all look there is the the Deadpool suit is really well armored I

Mean I can’t I’ve I could probably say there’s 10 to 15 times that the suit has saved me from a serious hospital visit natur getting hurt yeah yeah no for real it’s it’s really well strucked structured it’s well made it’s a it’s a feat of engineering as much as it is

Made for Aesthetics but you know it’s got that thick kind of armored layer um it’s tight as hell I’ve never shot a Deadpool movie outside of the summer until this one uh Hollywood went on strike as may maybe heard uh so shut down for many months so the movie’s been

Boarded or and written I wrote huge chunks of it to be take to take place in the summer um trying to shoot the movie in natural environments as opposed to um in sound stages so it’s been hard coming back in the winter with you know 7 hours

Of usable British daylight and um I think today was about minus one orus two maybe to all day yeah crazy but then those are the days you’re kind of grateful to be in the suit because for once I’m not just sweating to death nice what can we expect from Deadpool 3 I’m

Only going to do a little bit on your film but obviously you’re here filming for Deadpool you’re in England there’s not too much I could say I mean other than I’m having the the one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had making a movie because I’m doing it with

A couple of my closest friends on the planet and you know it’s not every day you get to make a movie with where you spend the entire day just laughing and having the time of your life so that’s going to draw a little comparison obviously to footballers and to actors

That like we’re so used to being away for away games weekends preseason trips and that yeah and obviously actors you’re way working or doing interviews and promos yeah do you think there is a correlation or do you think it’s no for sure I mean we all you know I think it’s

Sort of one of the reasons that the the the players uh on the club at the club and the our the chairman myself and Rob we all get along so well is that we all sort of speak the same language we all know what it’s like to sort of

Constantly be in limbo and flux and never really knowing where you’re going to be next year or next month even sometimes so um yeah there’s a sort of a slightly nomadic lifestyle that I think we all um share yeah when it comes to this stuff so yeah uh how hard is that

On the family life it’s terrible you know my wife and I have been really lucky it’s an obscene privilege to be able to not work at the same time you know um and It’s tricky because like our work often involves leaving you know to another continent for you know many

Months at a time so we try to keep our family together as much as possible but this is the first time we’ve had to be be a part we’re shooting movies at the same time she’s shooting in New York City and I’m uh shooting here so it’s

Been really tough but uh you know I’m almost done as of this recording I’m I’ve I’m I have I think four shooting days left yeah looking forward to a nice break then yeah yeah yeah I mean we’re in the edit room for the next you know

Couple months but um but that’s also a pleasure I mean it’s I get to see my kids every day I get to walk them to school I get to see my wife so it’s good yeah the fundamentals of Life yeah yeah yeah right I’m going to go on with our

Quiz now pleas called goalie or no goalie so please answer goalie or no goalie and it’s a one point for each correct answer okay so all of my audience know this game and it is uh the biggest trick the biggest play on words you’re not expected to do well okay I I

Don’t expect to do well so don’t worry I’ve actually rigged yours a little bit as well so it’s five former rexam goalkeepers oh wow okay so hope you’ve been doing your history yeah right ready to crack on uh what I love is that when you edit this together the show’s just

It’s the greatest experience of my life and and it’s and it and it’s filled with all kinds of weird and unexpected Horrors but it’s the greatest exper I mean it’s just being a a part of everyone wants to feel connected to something and feel a part of something

And and the fact that Rob and I were welcomed in with these like unblinking and uncynical arms uh with from the reom community is something that um I will never forget as long as I live I mean it’s part of my DNA now is that interaction with the fan

Base that you’ve had just blown you away yeah I mean it’s what I what I think I love most is like when you go to the stadium I mean that Stadium now has you know always about 12,400 people in it now with our temporary cop um and I

Recognize a lot of them like it’s was a weird thing too when you go to the matches you see you probably feel it too you’re like oh yeah I know everybody’s sitting in their seats you kind of see you have to say hello to Millie and Kay

Oh every time I go to the quiet Qui is the first place I go um every time when that starts to fill up and then I try to come in the the the dressing room but you also you don’t want to be distraction you just kind of want to you

Know disappear and make sure everybody’s got their game face off you know what’s really funny seeing the new Lads interaction when you come in compared cuz we were all there on yeah you were yeah and obviously we’ve all met you now and know you well enough but the new

Lads you’re all looking at them going oh my God look at them they are actually still star I met Luke mcnicholas recently that was one of the first time yeah oh that’s funny because I’m a little the feeling is kind of mutual right I mean you know we’re so involved

With every I mean if you saw the amount of texts and emails I wake up to every day that just have to do with Rex and business I mean it just never ends and it’s incredibly stressful but we’re constantly talking about the the staff ways to improve ways to grow this club

Ways to um connect the club with the Community even more and um so like when I walk in the dressing room I’m always a little geeked out too it’s just crazy and then you see everyone on the pitch but then when you see them up close and

In person it’s a lot like any professional sport everybody’s about twice as large as you think they are and we’re all ready to go to war about 10 minutes before you normally see us you especially man you do not [ __ ] around your prep is like you’re already back in

The locker room I like to chill out I’m as I said ear I’m a little bit older I like to come in early and just chill I’m one of The Quiet Ones I like to think I’m the dad of the dressing room so I’ve just got to make sure everyone’s

Looked after and got their Pat lunches and that stuff that’s a bit like me on Deadpool right now I get in there early I’m sort of one of the first people in usually and then you know I like to just kind of settle in and have a coffee and

Get my head right and then off to work we go yeah nice uh what was the the feeling of promotion like last year for you oh man I don’t know if that was a if that was a a drug we’d all be a mess I

Mean that that I I don’t I I Rob described it really best it was literally like our soul left our body in that moment when everybody just started to flood onto the field um I I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything like that you didn’t really get

To hang around for long after the game the Bor and wood game either not too long no we got to we got to hang out on the on the field a bit we got to you know hoist some silverware we got to have a little bit fun but yeah it was a

It was fast in and out uh what’s next for the club oh man obviously we’re doing quite well this year we’re doing very well but I don’t count any of those chickens until they’re hatched it’s any this sport is what’s so crazy about the sport Anything Can Happen yeah you know

You can prepare and prepare and prepare but I think one of the things I’ve been most impressed with is the way Phil has made this club so resilient you know we lose players to injury for for large swaths of time and there’s always somebody who can step in who’s as good

Sometimes better you know rising to the occasion and just you know remember when toer took himself out for for a minute and then someone got injured and he had to step in I think it was in the knots game yeah and he just scored a goal like

That was just the way he did it too was just so it was just so be very moving to see because I know he’d been through quite a bit with losing his dad and um I don’t know this this this uh this is the most romantic sport on the planet like

You said the way that the gaffa assembles a dressing room the personalities it puts into it there’s no accidents yeah and obviously I’ve got to give him huge credit I’ve with him before like but the way that he managed to to organize 30 Lads and make sure that we are self-sufficient and run

Ourselves yeah it’s incredible management no it’s really it’s really really special and you’re right you see that each one of those players are are going into battle and they would give their last drop of blood to perform and and and win for that town and and you

Know Rob and I both and I we feel the same way that we we have to reciprocate that feeling you know like we have to reciprocate that that gesture I mean we we would give our last drop of blood to to see this club move forward in in

Every way and just what a like what a special year this has already been you know right uh one massive question that the lads are going to make sure that I’ve asked I’ve not even told them that you’re on the show yet okay great cuz I

Don’t think i’ even listen anyway no uh but when when we get in the training ground Kev Mo Holland will be listening oh yes Kev Mahal you for when we actually get a training ground we’re ready yeah I know we need a training ground badly um that was in my inbox

This morning as well talking a lot about that there’s a bunch of different options we’re looking at but yeah trading ground is a huge it’s not just a huge for the club it’s huge for everybody like we want it to be something that is experienced by

Everybody that lives in rexam as well so it’s uh it’s there’s a lot of careful planning going into it but as you know too it’s it’s the same as where I grew up in Canada it’s just everything is a lot of bureaucracy yeah God it’s not

Just so easy as saying like let’s build this thing or let’s grow this thing you have to you know get 800 permits before you’re allowed to but Sean Harvey earns his money then yeah really yeah Sean Harvey and and a lot of the folks at more better which is Rob’s company and

Maximum effort my company yeah it’s a lot of lot of lot of hands on deck yeah I wanted to speak to you about you two as owners you and Rob uh the human aspect of dealing with things also the personalities that you’re managing obviously when I got dropped for fuzzy

And that and the phone call that I had with you and with Rob and uh I talked through a few of my the hardship bits and also the positive sides of it how how do you manag to deal with that as well because you know us as people now

But you also know us as Sports people yeah and you you’re still trying to bridge that gap of how do I deal with that as well yeah it’s a little you know I I sort of like I always find that don’t you know in any situation where

I’m not really sure I don’t know what to say or what to do be honest about not knowing what to say or what to do and I think it humanizes you and it you know there’s nothing worse than somebody who pretends to know you know so I I I I’ve

Been lucky to work in a lot of different sectors not just film and television but you know booze and Telecom and you know Performance Marketing and all kinds of crazy stuff and I one of the greatest uh uh I think tools I have in my toolkit is to just kind of go in

Honestly always you know and and and at heart I’m a Storyteller and every one of these things are stories including rexam and so interacting with the players and the staff the ground staff even around rexam I mean everybody it’s sort of you know coming in and not kind of imposing

Some sort of you know um uh weird Cult of Personality or something and also just kind of breaking down any of that hierarchical [ __ ] too like Rob and I don’t we we want to talk to everyone we love everybody that not just plays on that field but the folks that are

Working you know working at that field so that’s been fun getting to know those guys and kind of just feeling like you’ve been welcomed into that as a person and not some you know it’s probably like you guys feel you know when people look at you as human beings

And not just as Elite athletes or you know however you want to describe yourself but but uh even the way that you support us as players obviously you coming on this show P’s clothing line Mendy’s clothing line even the way that you helped fory and Jordan through their

Struggles and Toes like the people forget that you are human because we all see you on films and that but like the way that you’ve both dealt with it you and Rob like I can’t give you any enough credit and I remember when we got promoted I was like uh these are the

Moments I said to you on the pitch these are the moments that you’ll remember forever and I I couldn’t think of a better owner to work for in my whole career let alone right now yeah I love I mean I literally literally love you and these players I mean everybody there

It’s like when something great happens in the players lives I want to share that with them and I want to talk about it with them when something terrible happen we all go through hardships and and and rough roads and all kinds of [ __ ] and you know I think I think you

Want to be there for them then too you know I mean I I know that I’ve benefited in massive ways from people who stepped in for me when I couldn’t and um you know if you could spend the rest of your life just paying stuff like that forward

Um I’d say that you’d led a pretty damn good life you know yeah amazing right so before I get to my final couple of goalkeeping questions again uh I’ve got a couple of questions about some of your films huge shout out to forged Irish Stout for being part of this

Podcast listen to that beauty an unbeliev L smooth creamy stalp by Conor McGregor the UFC Legend not here to take part but here to take over forged Irish stalp is on a mission to become the biggest Irish Stout Conor McGregor has taken over the whiskey game now he about to take over

The Stout game me and my guests will be enjoying a few cans in the next few episodes if you fancy checking it out too make sure you hit the description below and find out where you can get forg Iris Stout for Irish Stout will be available in ASDA Nationwide come

August let’s get back to the podcast uh was Van Wilder based on olle Palmer it could be Jesus right it really feels like it could be but we all know Oli never went to score uh who would play dead uh who would play Deadpool out of the rexam

Squad oh that’s a good question who would play Deadpool I I mean it’s kind of olly I think yeah I think who do you think uh I would go for a yeah probably a Mullen type that although he doesn’t like the to be the the major celebrity he

Actually does enjoy some aspects of it and he would have that little bit of humor with it as well bit more sarcastic it’s healthy though to have a bit of both I think I enjoy parts of that as well I enjoy parts of celebrity and that kind of stuff and then there’s other

Parts of it that I yeah I think Mullen would handle it well Billy Waters he he he could have been a good Deadpool as well he could have been he’s one of the funniest footb I’ve ever very very very Funny’s unbelievable singer is he he

Used to be in a band really yeah the rexon fans will get on this now but yeah there’s a few clips on YouTube of Billy in a band we know he sang in Vegas didn’t he sang in Vegas quite a lot that’s true yeah that’s funny loves a

Bit of Blink 182 as well who doesn’t right uh free guy who would play free guy oh man I would say um oh God oh God this is a this is a this is a good one I just pure innocence right um who do you think wait I wait hold I’m

Going for one of the other Strikers that played a huge part last year Sam Doby Sam Doby one of the nicest human beings in the world he’d walk past everyone in the street like he was a bot but then all of a sudden he would like just become an unbelievable machine yes

That’s true he is he is a little bit like a guy that levels up when he needs to level up isn’t he he’s very very sweet yeah he I think so too Sam Dobby’s a really good choice and the the final one I’ve got is uh Pikachu we all know

Who’s fluffy and full of electric Le I mean Elliot Lee is Pikachu for sure Pik fact if we’re lucky enough to make a sequel of that I’m I’m going to suggest I don’t think he need a costume he kind of looks like a f anyway just throw a

Little spray paint on him’ awesome for that and then obviously we’ve got Sean Harvey would be hitman’s bodyguard oh 100% right he’s a Sam Jackson Heavy and then uh I’ve got one role for me actually from one of your previous films which is I’d be in selfless oh nice but

I would be the other way around I’d be the old body with a young mind oh so kind of I take I would take the old body with the young mind that sort of experience in your bones youth in your brain that’s it yeah I thought a that’s

That sums me up to a te yeah yeah right and then uh I’ve got a C the final two questions are do you know what the podcast name means no the yours M away podcast you know what yours M away means in the goalkeeping world wait I I feel like I

That came across my brain at some point but it’s not my brain isn’t functioning right now properly I’m GNA do you want me to something up for you yeah so it’s that moment of indecision when you’re coming for a cross or reading a fubble and you’re going it’s yours it’s mine [ __ ]

Away oh I had no idea I not know that is that every goalkeeper for every decision has this pause in their brain that goes it’s not mine it’s yours it’s mine oh wow I love that it’s a tension thing but every goalkeeper across the world will

Know this it’s like oh it’s that moment yeah that’s like date night with my wife Twitchy bum moment for a go yeah right oh that oh God okay we’re going for it yeah yeah yeah yeah I like that right and then my final question I always end

On this is what does do the goalkeeper Union mean to you a it’s a it is a unique skill set I think it’s like less about a physical some physical attribution and more it’s a head it’s a mind yeah set I think uh goalkeeping is it’s like one of those great kind of

Unsung jobs that you know demands respect it takes a certain I can’t tell if it’s like you you guys that volunteer to do that that willfully put yourself in that position if something’s either desperately wrong with you or if um or if you just have the gift like you were just meant to

Mine the net like that I don’t know but um I don’t yeah I wouldn’t Envy it you know a little piece of trivia that no one should know but I played goalkeeper for four years that was my final question have you ever played in Gold I have four years hockey nope football

Football yeah as a kid yeah no way grew up being a goalie yeah I grew up being a goalie and then you know lot of shots to the lot of shots to the face and stuff but I was I think I stopped playing football by the time I

Was uh I don’t know like 14 surely that’s a world exclusive Ryan Reynolds is a goalie yeah I have I still have pictures of me it’s a little take in the net yeah amazing well obviously Ryan this is what we got time for and I can’t

  5. Howard, do you see yourself becoming part of the coaching staff in Wrexham at some point in the near future, or when you are done playing, move to another team or retire?
