Despite your long, relatively successful club career in England..do you regret not staying at Liverpool and fighting for your place/becoming nr1?
Have you ever lost your temper in a match?
Brad, how many World Cup cycles does the US national team need before they are to be serious contenders?
Did you ever wish you stayed with Galatasaray so, you could (possibly) be the #1 goalkeeper when Gala won the UEFA and Super Cup?
Brad has the Premier League record for most consecutive games played (310), so I was wondering what is his secret to staying injury free?
Amongst the many managers you have worked under your relatively long and successful club career. Who has been the best person to work under and why?
Why you never played for one of the big clubs? You definitely had better quality than many keepers in England during your time.
How is AVB as a manager and as a person? How much has he grown as manager of Tottenham?
as a goalkeeper, who do you think is the best goalkeeper these days?
why does mourinoh always concede the game by playing defensive game. why should he not fight for the midfield with the opposing team since he has the players to do it.
was a good player
Goal keepers tend to have a long life under the bar. 500 plus appearances in the EPL. Massive achievement. Congrats Brad.
