Akio Ogura

Standing at a formidable 190 cm, this reserved Japanese shot-stopper possesses world-class reflexes and diving agility that make him a nightmare for any striker. After being told as a child that his severe fear of heights would keep him out of goal, he turned that anxiety into a relentless drive to master the air. Though he often hesitates to charge off his line, his physical dominance and feline instincts ensure that when the ball enters his box, it rarely hits the net.
