Alisson Becker will always be famous for scoring his famous header for Liverpool, but that doesn’t mean he came close to being an outfield player and the Brazilian has discussed why he never played elsewhere.

It was a refreshingly honest retort from the 31-year-old, after speaking about how he had played in midfield as an eight-year-old.
Few would want to lose our stopper playing in goal, but if it means we get to see another West Brom header then it might be worth it!

The whole interview is great watch and it’s lovely to see the former Roma man so relaxed and talking about his life and career.
