With Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur scoreless after 120 minutes of regulation play in the English League Cup Final, Sunday, United’s goalkeeping coach Eric Steele turned to his iPod to show goalkeeper Ben Foster videos of Hotspur players taking penalty shots.
In the ensuing penalty kick shootout, United prevailed 4 - 1. Foster told BBC Sport afterward, “We went into the shoot-out as well prepared as possible. We have had things to look at over the last couple of days and before the shoot-out, you can see me looking at an iPod with Eric Steele. It had actual video on it and showed where players put things. Eric brought it when he came to the club. I have never seen anything like it. It is a fantastic tool for us.”
The PR lads and ladies ought to be pullin’ an extra pint for Eric Steele today in Cupertino, eh wot?
