Ben Foster

The experienced goalkeeper was born in Stoke, but was raised by proficient football club Manchester United.

He was bought on loan by Watford Football Club, but moved back to United in 2007. As the Red Devils already possessed a great keeper, Foster had to leave Manchester. He then joined Birmingham City for three years. However, Birmingham lent him to West Bromwich Albion where he is now an incredible goalkeeper who has received a great reputation at the club.

He has been trained by various clubs such as Bristol City, Stafford Rangers, Racing Club Warwick, Stoke City and Manchester United.

He is the usual goal-scorer of the side and scores superb goals, mainly the winning goals.

BIRMINGHAM CITY

Boaz Myhill

On loan from West Bromwich Albion, a splendid goalkeeper packed with a set of professional skills, the Irish goalkeeper is much more than a normal keeper. The goalie is one among a million, and players like him are truly rare, for his saves are indescribable, and his body movements are very fast, enabling him to retrieve the ball in which ever direction it travels.

The pro was first a goalkeeper from Aston Villa. He then worked with many famous clubs such as Bristol City, Macclesfield Town, Sheffield United and Stockport County. Once signing for 'Tigers' Hull City in 2003, he quickly became their first choice keeper and played a key part in two back-to-back promotion seasons.

He was then signed up by Tottenham Hotspur, where he built himself a reputation that has brought him this far. He is now Birmingham's all-trustworthy goalkeeper due to his extremely wonderful goals and massive services to the team.

Murphy is loaded with plenty of football skills and possesses a strong body when it comes to scoring long-distance as well as those from a short distance.
