Random Goalkeeper Fact of the Day

Hearts (ie Heart of Midlothian F.C. - Rdinburgh, Scotland) goalkeeper Jim Cruickshank had a habit of walking onto the field of play with a transistor radio hidden in his towel that was placed carefully beside his post so he could tune into the horse racing during lulls in play.
