Just as our (in the opinion of many) our second best keeper was a Wales keeper.

No, because unlike us, they probably all thought it was a waste of money to have two players of that standard.

Well done to all three of them
It does make me wonder why we got in a second keeper , unless later today we are going to sell Johnson

I remember being mortified in 1989 when we splashed out a world record fee for a goalkeeper. What a waste of scarce resources, I thought, when we've got a perfectly good #1 in Perry Suckling. The rest, as they say, is history.

We had goalie injuries last season and a novice had to play.Teams must have quality back up.

I don't know, but my first thought was that Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy might have been in the same England squad when they were at Southampton a few years ago. I just Googled their names though and couldn't find a squad with them both in, but did find that McCarthy was called up to replace Forster on one occasion when Forster had to withdraw due to injury (vs Slovakia in 2016).

Another possible pair that came to mind was David Seaman and Richard Wright while they were at Arsenal, but it seems not. Wright had only one call-up while at Arsenal, and Seaman wasn't in the squad for that game (vs Netherlands in 2001).

Maybe someone else can think of another possible pairing, but I don't think I can. Could be a first for England! Good question!

I don't know, but Leicester City famously had both goalkeepers in the Euro 2020 match Denmark v Wales.
