What happens when a pro goalkeeper wears the world's biggest goalie gloves? Will I be able
to score past him and just how good will he be? Well in today's video I find out.
Now you're probably wondering why do these gloves even exist? Well in the mid 90s Manchester United
goalie Peter Schmeichel was the best keeper around and to celebrate this a glove manufacturer called
Reusch did something very special. Standing at a huge six foot four inches they created a one-off
super-sized pair of goalie gloves and I managed to get my hands on them so let's unbox the world's
biggest goalie gloves and see how good they really are. Wow look at that, that is ridiculous. So I
could test these out myself but I'm terrible in goal so the aim is to put these on the hands of
someone who actually knows what they're doing between the sticks. Enter Connor O'Keefe, he'll be
the man testing these things out today but first things first I wanted to surprise him with the
I'm not sure about this Kieran. Are you ready? Yeah. Turn around. Oh my word.
They are unbelievable. Peter Schmeichel, this might be his actual glove size he's pretty big
to be fair. To be fair that's gonna give me a little bit more reach, I'm feeling that. So before
I stick Connor in goal with these things we need to get him warmed up so I'll be taking shots at
him while he's wearing different types of gloves and only when I score past him can we move on to
the next pair and as we go on each pair gets even crazier until we reach the world's biggest
goalie gloves and this little experiment should give us a good idea of just how important goalie
gloves are. First up we need to get a baseline, how many shots will it take to score past him
wearing his normal goalie gloves? I'm glad we've got the normal gloves first, I get a bit of a
warm-up before it gets chaotic. Right first up normal gloves let's go. Oh that's a save. Nice.
So far still not got a goal but luckily this challenge will get easier for me as we go on.
So Connor was putting up a strong performance in his normal gloves
but after 22 shots I finally scored a goal.
Come on! That's a nice goal that. So the first goal was scored which meant we move on to the
next pair of gloves which is the ski gloves. I'm hoping I can score a goal past these pretty
quickly. We're on to the ski gloves now a little bit harder but we've still got a little bit of
grip on there, obviously not quite as grippy as normal goalkeeper gloves but we'll take these,
these shouldn't be too bad.
Hey look at that, I think my technique's better in these.
So I started taking some shots and Con was dealing with them well.
Look at that, not going anywhere son. But after just the seventh shot I scored this worldie.
Yes come on! Nothing the gloves can do about that. So seven shots is going to be hard to beat but
next up Connor is going bare hands, let's see how he gets on with this. Next up bare hands,
old school. We've taped up just to make sure that the fingers are okay, the wrists are okay,
this is how the legends of the game did it back in the day. The old school goalies,
bare hands, let's give it a go. After the sweatiness of the ski gloves it actually
makes it stick a bit more. So after getting used to the feelings of the bare hands,
yes, it was time to see how many shots it would take for me to score a goal.
Ah save! We've got mitre balls as well which is like the worst thing we could be using for bare
hands. Just listen to the sound every time he makes a save, that's gotta hurt. This round's
for all the goalkeeping OGs, when you watch the old footage of the old lads, no gloves,
horrible footballs, that's proper goalkeeping. Yes! The bare hands are too good but after 18
shots I finally scored a goal. Yes! The bare hands have finally been defeated.
Next up, how will he perform wearing the marigold gloves? Can he keep a clean sheet?
Starting to get a little bit more tough, they've done a nice kind convenience of adding these
little bumps onto the palms just to kid us into thinking that there's some grip but
not sure these are any better than bare hands. Might even be a little bit worse,
this one could be interesting. So the marigolds got off to a good start,
no catching going on there. If you literally, right, last minute, you're about to leave the
house, realise you've got no gloves at all, would you take those with you? I'd play bare hands.
Lovely. So there was a few worldy saves but after just 11 shots I scored a goal past the marigolds.
There it is, oh my god, I've never hit shots like this in my life.
Feel like the marigolds put in a good shift, took one for the team by even ripping but I'd be lying
if I said I wasn't glad to see the back of them. Next up, baseball mitt, we might get a cool catch
if we can get it in one and they're both a left hand so that'll be interesting.
Look at that, it fits right in. So straight away I thought these gloves were going to be an
absolute nightmare for Con but he actually put up an unreal performance in the baseball gloves.
I'll just let you guys sit back and watch this masterclass. Oh lovely tip.
Not going anywhere.
I really wanted to hold that. These baseball gloves are proving difficult to score past.
Yes, we got one baby.
Save again. So after 30 shots I finally scored past the baseball gloves.
Right, baseball gloves were a joke. Let's see how the boxing gloves do.
Boxing gloves, you already know what I'm going to be doing this. Punching everything,
going to make it very difficult to catch. We'll see how my jab and my hook are
with this round. I have no idea what's going to happen here. I'm going to try my best.
Be chaos.
Save. I think there's not going to be much catching on it.
Oh that's a save.
So Con was doing well but after 16 shots the boxing gloves were defeated.
Yes, yes.
Just not quite good enough from the boxing gloves. Come on.
Now before we move on to the world's biggest goalie gloves,
there's one more pair that I wanted to try and it's probably as difficult as it gets.
The oven gloves.
I don't think I'm going to be able to dive very well. We've got a little bit of grip
in the middle. That might be an added bonus. This is going to need a lot of good footwork
because the hands, they're not going anywhere. I think if, yeah, if it comes straight I should
be all right if it's a dive.
Right, oven gloves, if I'm honest, these have got to be the easiest one.
Hands stuck together essentially.
Yes.
They have got a bit of grip on there though to be fair.
They have got a bit of grip and I've just got to go with everything to handle it.
Oh, how has he got it? He's caught it.
Right, save.
Oh, was that in or not?
There we go.
So after a valiant performance from Khan,
it took 19 attempts and one of my best strikes ever to finally score past him.
Nothing you can do about that.
That is an unbelievable strike.
That is literally one of the best goals I've ever scored. Nothing you can do about them.
What a shot.
Now it's finally time to see what happens when we come up against the
Finally.
Never seen anything like it in my life.
These are incredible.
We'll give it our best shot and hopefully we'll make some saves.
This might be the biggest joke you've pulled on me so far if I'm being honest.
This is going to be something special.
Doubles my wingspan.
Nothing getting past these bad boys.
Yes.
You do know legally you could wear them in a game.
There's no rules.
Yeah, I think I'd be shunned by the GK union if I ever decided to do something like that.
So I started off with a few easy shots just to see how we dealt with them.
The ball just vanished behind the gloves there.
How would you deal with one of these?
Oh, look at that.
Oh, he's catching them as well.
The fingertips got there, man.
I think the fingertip was in the next postcode.
I don't know what I can do to beat these.
He's literally wearing the world's biggest goalie gloves.
There we go.
Safe hands, mate.
Oh, the tips.
How has he kept that out?
When you go to make a save, it just disappears.
You can't see the ball at all.
You just gotta hope it hits it and stays out.
The funny thing is that ball was going about a mile wide then,
but the gloves just got there.
So after 20 shots, Con was putting up a great performance
and showing no signs of conceding.
Oh my god, this is going to be harder than I thought, mate.
I got him to show us how he'd receive a corner in these gloves.
And after 28 shots, which is a top score for this video,
I finally scored a goal past the world's biggest goalie gloves.
That's a great goal.
No, high five, mate. That was great.
