Responsibility, passion, solitude and adrenaline are what you feel playing in goal, especially at a side like Athletic Club, a team that has produced legendary keepers including the likes of Angel Iribar and Zubizarreta.

Ainhoa Tirapu, the club's ladies' keeper, and Gorka Iraizoz, Athletic's first-choice shot stopper, explained why they chose, as kids, to start playing between the posts, why they never looked back and what has been their toughest time whilst keeping goal for the Basque side.
