Bournemouth leading the way in goalkeeper training and technology

BOURNEMOUTH, England -- Jimmy Glass is the Player Liaison Officer at AFC Bournemouth, but only the older members of Eddie Howe's first-team squad are aware of his biggest claim to fame.

Glass, 44, is the goalkeeper who became a global sensation in May 1999 -- back in the days when "social media" amounted to watching a game on television with your mates and dissecting it with a face-to-face conversation rather than tweeting, posting or uploading your reaction for potential consumption by millions.

When Glass scored the winning goal against Plymouth Argyle, with virtually the last kick of the game, to keep Carlisle United in the Football League -- in what was his third and final game for the club -- it secured his place in football folklore.
