Tyrone goalkeeper has sorted himself with filthy new boots for Dublin clash

Crep-check on point

Niall McIntyre

Niall Morgan knows the score.

The Tyrone goalkeeper is famed for his confident approach to the goalkeeping game. He mans the Tyrone goals with his chest bulging and his head held high.

He often receives criticism for missing frees, for his kick-outs, for somethings appearing too confident, but come on if you’re criticising a man for having too much self-belief, it doesn’t really make sense does it?

Nothing fazes him, and when he strides up the field to hit a 45 or a long range free, he looks the most assured man on the field.

The 26-year-old is one of Mickey Harte’s most important players, with his ability to mix booming kick-outs with short ones key to kickstarting Tyrone’s attacking play.

With kicking now one of the most important aspects of a goalkeeper’s game, their choice of boot is fundamental to their game.

They have to be comfortable, they have to feel at ease and they have to know that they have sufficient grip and power underneath them.

Morgan is preparing for his county’s clash with Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday, and he has sorted himself out with a seriously slick pair of boots in the build-up.

Look good, feel good, play good is the motto of many modern day players, and the Edendork St. Malachy’s

We wouldn’t bet against Morgan banging over over a few long-rangers with the help of these bad boys.

Pure power.

The colour co-ordination with the black, grey and red Tyrone goalkeepers jersey will be on point in Croke Park.

Morgan is no stranger to donning some slick footwear, and he has quite a collection of boots.

He’s not afraid to stand out with his choices.

Even when he’s playing golf, his crep check is always on point.

Well-kitted.

Mickey Harte will be hoping Morgan is at his shot-stopping best to keep out Dublin’s ferocious attack on Sunday.
