What does it really take to be a goalkeeper? In this episode of Catching Up, we sit down with Iain Longstaff – a coach who has lived and breathed the highs, lows, and lessons of life between the posts.

Iain shares his journey from watching his dad inspire him to take up goalkeeping, through the heartbreak of early setbacks, to becoming a respected coach who has worked with some of the best in the game. From grassroots to the National League, from family influences to professional triumphs like winning the Golden Glove, Iain’s story is full of wisdom for goalkeepers of all ages.

We talk about the eccentric characters who shaped the game, what it takes to coach with honesty and humility, and how the demands on goalkeepers have evolved with the modern game. Whether you’re a young keeper dreaming big, a coach looking for insight, or a parent supporting the journey, this episode is packed with valuable lessons.

Above all, Iain’s message is clear: be yourself, keep learning, and embrace the joy of goalkeeping.
