Wanderers currently boast a wealth of goalkeeping talent and ex-pro Fred Barber is aiming to put many more on the production line.

More than 50 aspiring Keith Branagans attended a one day teach-in Barber staged in Bolton on behalf of the Uhlsport National Goalkeeping School.

Now the Burnden goalkeeping coach is running regular sessions in tandem with Wanderers' thriving School of Excellence.

Classes are held every Tuesday evening at the Harper Green Astro-turf site at Farnworth, where youngsters pay £5 a time for specialist tuition from Barber and YTS assistant Phil McGing, who has recently been drafted into the Wanderers Youth Cup squad.

Sessions run from 6.30 to 7.30 after the School of Excellence work outs.
