The WAB Friday Quiz #191

It is this love of those men mad enough to keep net that makes a goalkeeper themed quiz particularly popular. So, as we await the news that Verbruggen is officially a Seagull, rattle through these 20 questions to remind you of some of Verbruggen’s predecessors to have done the gloves for the Albion.
