We're going to take a wild stab in the dark that listeners of this podcast are almost certainly avid listeners of Ben Foster's Fozcast.
That being the case, you'll have all heard a familiar name on this week's YouTube phenomenon. For when announcing his retirement, Foz mentioned a certain Richard Lee and the part our apparent "Goalkeeping Super Agent" played in a rollercoaster of a day which convinced the ex-England No1 to hang up his gloves.
Rich reacts to a manic 24 hours on this episode, in addition to all the customary analysis from the Premier League and EFL.
With a host of games cancelled, we'll take a break during the international fixtures and return once the league schedule restarts.

Foul or no foul?
That was the question on, well, some people's lips following Luton's last-minute equaliser at Burnley over the weekend. With James Trafford appearing to be impeded by Elijah Adebayo, a goal was given and the Twittersphere was split.
We look at that incident, as well as Andre Onana's AFCON involvement which could pave the way for Altay Bayindir's long-awaited first piece of action as a Manchester United goalkeeper.
Ben Hamer nabbed Performance of the Weekend in the EFL with a stunning display to see Watford leave QPR with three points, while Josh Vickers remains Derby No1 despite Joe Wildsmith hitting double figures for clean sheets prior to being dropped.
All that, plus Clean Sheet Club and more GKs On Their Way.

245: James Trafford

Onto the next feature interview we go, this time with the return of Richard Lee to the question-asking fold.
James Trafford may only be 20, but the Man City stopper already has a wealth of goalkeeping experience to draw upon.
From farmland beginnings in Cumbria to signing for The Cityzens at the age of 12, he talks GKU through a difficult first stab at professional football with Accrington, finding a temporary – and hugely successful – home in Bolton and learning alongside Xavi Mancisidor and Ederson et al at the Etihad.
Traff's a very uncomplicated, family-oriented chap whose growth both as a person and goalkeeper has been evident in the past 18 months.
A bright future awaits.

If you can ignore the utterly insane call which led to Liverpool being awarded a match-clinching penalty against Crystal Palace at the weekend, focus instead on Alisson's MOM display which ultimately helped The Reds clinch said match.
The Brazilian completes an extremely solid No1 and No2 for Jurgen Klopp's side, with Caoimhin Kelleher equally as impressive in the Carabao Cup Semi-Final triumph over Arsenal a few days prior.
Elsehwere, David de Gea has now made more saves than any other Premier League goalkeeper so far this season, Fraser Forster racked up a 200th appearance in English football and Hugo Lloris joined Emi Martinez in signing contract extensions at Tottenham and Aston Villa respectively.
In the EFL, Neil Etheridge returned to his best form for Birmingham and Nick Townsend continues to stake his claim as Newport's No1 ahead of Joe Day.

Love-ins for Aaron Ramsdale and Lee Nicholls take centre stage with media and pundits calling for both to be recognised by England manager Gareth Southgate.
Text Talk returns with Joe Lumley talking us through a point-saving save for Middlesbrough in their draw at Millwall, Clean Sheet Club goes into overdrive with what we reckon is the highest number of entries since the franchise began and, speaking of franchises, the birth of a new Spawny Goal of the Week could well be in the offing.
To finish, we touch on comments made by goalkeeping, ahem, "expert" Tony Cascarino on talkSPORT this week. Apparently you go in nets if you fail as an outfielder. Nice one, Tone.

With the transfer window tidied up and normal service resuming, we reflect on all the weekend's goalkeeping action - including an injury-time epic involving Jordan "Don Corleone" Pickford at Sheffield United.
A glance is given to the best of the rest from the EFL and last week's Carabao Cup clashes, plus a final look at all the movers and shakers on Deadline Day.
NB: With Rich away on post-deadline travels (and not taking his equipment with him), this recording was conducted via Zoom.
