Caoimhin Kelleher, goalkeeper - Liverpool FC
Caoimhin Kelleher is a goalkeeper who has built a reputation as a penalty-shootout specialist since joining Liverpool FC in the summer of 2015.
The Republic of Ireland international switched to the Reds from Ringmahon Rangers and progressed through the ranks at the Academy up to senior-team duties, where he has won four shootouts - the most of any 'keeper in the club's history.
The most memorable of those successes came in the 2022 Carabao Cup final, where he made a string of vital saves and then scored Liverpool's decisive penalty in an 11-10 shootout victory over Chelsea at Wembley.
He made eight appearances overall in 2021-22 and also collected an FA Cup winner's medal.
