My Take
I hold a special fondness for goalkeepers, and Alex McCarthy fits the mold I admire. Born in Guildford in 1989 and standing 193 cm, the Southampton keeper climbed up through Reading's academy, hardened by loan spells before earning his shot. Goalkeeping is a lonely, thankless job: you rarely score the glamour goal, but one decisive save can rescue an entire side. I'm always drawn to these unflashy, irreplaceable figures who carry such weight on their shoulders. With free agency arriving in June 2026, I hope that big frame still has plenty of saves left to keep pulling off.
