Meet Eric Gill and Dave Hollins, once feted as two of the finest
goalkeepers in Britain. Between them they have more stories to tell
spanning the past ten decades than there are holes in a football
net. Their unique friendship started as a rivalry, two men
wrestling over the same goalkeeper jersey at Brighton & Hove
Albion in the 1950s. Seventy years later they remain the best of
pals, having lived long, eventful lives bookended by the horrors of
World War Two and the Covid-19 pandemic. Journey back to when
footballers earned GBP20 a week and goalkeepers wore string gloves,
as Eric and Dave recall how they dodged Hitler's bombs before
pitting their wits against some of sport's most iconic names: a
list that includes Stanley Matthews, Pele and George Best not to
mention their shared nemesis, Brian Clough. Touching, inspiring and
searingly honest, Eric and Dave is a salutary reminder that youth
is not a time of life but a state of mind.
