“If you ever look at my history of coaching in South Africa, no team has ever gone down. And I'm talking about places in the league. They've always gone up.”

Zimbabwean former professional footballer

Bruce Grobbelaar is a Zimbabwean former professional footballer, born in 1957, best known as a goalkeeper for Liverpool and the Zimbabwe national team. He played for Liverpool from 1981 to 1994 and became widely known for his presence in goal. He was noted for his athletic, acrobatic style, steady confidence, and unusual, flamboyant approach to the position. His willingness to rush out of his area has led later observers to compare him with modern sweeper-keepers.
