helmet

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann believes the Premiership is so
rough he wants to wear a helmet in games!
The German told the Sunday Mirror: "I am thinking about wearing
headgear to protect myself.
"It is inappropriate to make it obligatory for goalkeepers to wear
headgear. However, if someone wants to wear one, I would understand
that."
Asked how likely that it would be for him to don something like a
boxer's head guard, Lehmann said: "It all depends on the referees
now."
FIFA regulations allow players to wear protective equipment, such
as head guards.
Law 4 states: "As long as protective equipment like headgear is
made of soft, lightweight padded material it is not considered to
be dangerous."
