Hearts Heritage Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 How was he innovative? He brought science to the art He knew where his goal was so would narrow the angle by moving towards his opponents if it was a one on one. He would also look at body language and anticipate which way a player was going to shoot. Sounds simple but he was first keeper to do this. Also known as the 'Father of modern goalkeeping' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
