No. Because wicket keepers also bat.

Players are outfield players. GKs are GKs.

But you said they're not "footballers", so what would you call them?

 

[Drico]

Another injury…

We just can’t keep players fit

She's dead, mate. Not injured.

The clue is in the name - goal keepers.

What sport do Goalkeepers play?

What sport do Goalkeepers play?

They're on the pitch where a game of football is, but they aren't outfiled players...which is what most people regard as proper players.

When you were a kid, GKs were always chosen for games when all the decent players had been taken.

Rondon may not be

Rondon may not be here.

Every cloud...

Left backs aren’t footballers then, they’re left backs. What a weird argument this is.

Outfield player and GKs. They have a special role and everyone knows it.

Damn. Ah well it's just for 2 games and Begovic has always been decent when called upon

Except that game vs QPR when he was a hologram. But after that he has been fine.

 

[Marius57]

Yes. But they are not footballers really.

But his distribution with his feet is better than lots of 'outfield players' (he is our joint top assists this season). He is also fantastic at tackling (see his tackle of van dijk).

 

[Cels]

They're not real footballers.

The vast majority would be an outfield player rather than a GK.

Don’t forget right back at home

Love you, Dave. Don't ever change, mate

You've been on this site for as long as I have and are definitely an Evertonian, so I'm fairly sure you have heard of Neville Southall? Would you say to him that he isn't a footballer?
