South Africa not exporting enough goalkeepers - ex-Bafana Bafana stopper Walters

Former Bafana Bafana international Shuaib Walters is concerned by the fact that South Africa is not producing goalkeepers who play in top European Leagues.

The 38-year-old was a professional goalkeeper for 15 years and he played for clubs in the Premier Soccer League and National First Division (NFD).

Walters was part of the Bafana squad at the 2010 Fifa World Cup finals - serving as the third choice keeper behind Itumeleng Khune and Moeneeb Josephs.

Walters also feels that experienced goalkeepers are usually backed over youth which is alarming for the state of South African football.
