Watford goalkeeper coach Graham Stack is full of praise for Ben Foster and Heurelho Gomes.

After he and Hayden Mullins made the step up to the first-team coaching squad under Nigel Pearson, Stack said he felt both excited and under pressure to try and improve two goalkeepers with a vast wealth of experience.

Speaking on the club's official podcast, he said: “When I first moved up and took responsibility for looking after the goalkeepers, I was in awe a little bit, but I was excited and part of me felt added pressure really to make sure I was ready and I was able to get the best out of top goalies, not just 18-year-old, 19-year-old young goalies.

“These are players that have played at the very top and you're almost putting yourself under pressure to make sure the minute you step foot on the grass with these lads that you're comfortable and able to stimulate and basically improve them.

“That was a bit of a tall order because you've got Gomey and Fozzy who have been at some wonderful clubs and probably worked with the best goalkeeper coaches around, and I'm pretty new to this. But you know, from the very first session, they've absolutely welcomed me with open arms, and I love the relationship we've got as players and coaches together."
