The roaming goalkeeper lives on.
Gaelic football's tactical evolution towards 'fly goalkeepers' has ramped up in recent years, with Graham Brody, Rory Beggan and Niall Morgan leading the charge.
Now Aghyaran GAA goalkeeper Benny Gallen has hinted at what is on the horizon; goalscoring goalkeepers. He landed this beauty in Dolan Park.

The Tyrone man has already developed a reputation for his score-getting exploits, with his long-range free-taking often a healthy source for his club.
After all the criticism Graham Brody got recently after his ventures went wrong in the Division 3 League final, Gallen demonstrated that goalkeepers attacking can also have positives.
