Born and raised in South Africa Grobbelaar played for a number of British teams including a fourteen-year stint as a Liverpool FC goalkeeper as well as at Southampton FC, Stoke City FC and Plymouth Argyle FC. Grobbelaar also played as part of the Zimbabwean National Football team at two World Cups. However, with a career that was dogged by tabloid coverage, libellous allegations and court appearances Bruce Grobbelaar now works almost exclusively as a coach and football speaker.
Before becoming a dedicated football speaker Bruce Grobbelaar made a number of guest appearances as the goalkeeper for struggling teams or in charity matches, including a rematch of the 1986 FA Cup Final where he was reunited with his old Liverpudlian teammates in a game against Everton.
Despite his success as an international sports speaker Grobbelaar has stated a desire to one day return to Anfield as the manager of his beloved team. Until such a time as this, however, Grobbelaar remains one of the most prolific and impressive football speakers from his native South Africa; his vast and eclectic experience as well as his status as one of the most well-travelled players of his era, mark him as one a thoroughly engaging and entertaining sports speaker.
