Goalkeepers don’t usually have to be the fittest lads on the pitch.

But that’s not the case at Walsall FC.

You need some pretty powerful lungs to get through the explosive training drills with the League One leaders. Just ask Neil Etheridge!

So much for the good ol’ days of sticking the fat lad in nets.
