About this episode

The GK Union strikes again and today we are back with another BANGER of an episode! We have an all-time Premier League RECORD breaking keeper, former Liverpool, Blackburn, Aston Villa and Tottenham stopper, Brad Friedel. The American has played over 400 games in the Premier League and has featured 82 times for the USA! Brad talks to us about holding a Premier League record, the secret to keeping that run going and the real reason it was ended. The 52-year-old also touches on his time at Spurs with Andre Villas-Boas and Hugo Lloris, having two managers at one Club when he was at Liverpool and what Graham Souness did at Galatasary!

We also chat to Brad about growing up in the USA and why he chose football/soccer out of all the other American sports!
