'He couldn't believe it was in proper, professional football!': Stoke No 1 Joe Bursik on shocking Liverpool's Alisson with his free-kick ability, how he went from winger to keeper and playing for England... as he looks to stop Leicester in the FA Cup

When Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker stumbled upon a viral clip from an Accrington Stanley game last season it was not quite 'who are they?' he was asking.

'Andy Lonergan came in [on loan] for the last month and said to me one day Alisson came into training watching a video with a keeper taking free-kicks and he said 'Lonners, Lonners, is this in England?' laughs Stoke's England under-21 goalkeeper Joe Bursik, who was asked to step up by boss Jon Coleman during his Stanley loan spell after whipping a 30-yarder into the top corner in training.
