“As a keeper, you have to understand that your job is black and white: ...” — Karen Bardsley Quote

“As a keeper, you have to understand that your job is black and white: you make a save, or you don't; you can be the hero - or the goat.”

“The only technical difference you will find is, if you are keeping goal as a male, they will play a bit further out, but set positions are the same, and techniques are constantly evolving.”

“You can make loads of great saves, but if you concede, it's, 'That's what we will show the world.'”

“My grandfather was coloured, my father was Negro, and I am Black.”

“Obviously black matches with everything.”

“What I really resent most about people sticking labels on you is that it cuts off all the other elements of what you are because it can only deal with black and white; the cartoon.”
