[Up until the age of 14 you played as a defensive midfielder. Legend has it that it was the performances of Cameroon keeper Thomas N'Kono at Italy 1990 that made you want to be a goalkeeper. Is that right?] Yes it is. It was Thomas N'Kono and his spectacular saves that made me fall in love with the position. He quickly became my hero and I called my son Louis Thomas in his honour. After he was born N'Kono called to congratulate me.
