REUSCH are the leading International Specialist Goalkeeping Brand, with a heritage in glove manufacturing going back to 1934.
In 1973 Gebhard Reusch, the son of the original founder, developed the first goalkeeping glove with a latex palm in conjunction with Sepp Maier the West German National Goalkeeper.
One year later, Maier helped his team to lift the World Cup on home soil in Munich, thus becoming the first Reusch endorsee to win a major tournament.
Since that day, more goalkeepers have won World Cups and European Championships wearing Reusch gloves, than any other brand in the market.
Goalkeeping icons such as David Seaman, Peter Schmeichel, Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech and Julio Cesar amongst many others, have all worn the Reusch brand to major success.
Julio Cesar has just been recalled to the Brazil squad and hopefully will feature at the World Cup in 2014. Two other Reusch keepers who could also feature strongly in the tournament are Fernando Muslera of Uruguay and Salvatore Sirigu of Italy.
Reusch have always had an eye for quality, fit and comfort and over the years have been leaders in their specialist market for the innovation and development of goalkeeper glove technology.
They pride themselves on consistently producing quality products to enhance the performances of goalkeepers playing at all levels.
The 2013 “Argos” range is highly visible on the pitch and includes styles suitable for all match and surface conditions. As well as gloves, Reusch also produce a range of goalkeeper apparel and accessories to provide a full product offering to cover a goalkeeper’s every need.
In 2013, Reusch are committed to putting something back into goalkeeping at all levels and are very pleased to be sponsoring their second Reusch Goalkeeper of the Year award in conjunction with The Non League Paper at the National Game awards 2012-13.
In addition Reusch will be sponsoring the second Goalkeeping Conference in the UK aimed at bringing together coaches, keepers and goalkeeping enthusiast over a weekend to share ideas and expand their knowledge.
The Conference will be held at the Wokefield Park Hotel in Berkshire on May 25 and 26, 2013. More details can be found at www.thegoalkeepingconference.com
