Caolan McGettigan (Milford United)
Caolan just never makes mistakes. He is a good shot-stopper and excellent with the ball at his feet too. A very good goalkeeper.

Lee White: Lee was not the tallest guy to be a ‘keeper but he didn’t let too many goals in past him in all the games I played against him. Not many people might know that he was a great penalty taker himself but his teammates probably wouldn’t let him hit any because if he scored, they would never hear the end of it!
