Chris Kirkland Football player

Christopher Edmund "Chris" Kirkland (born 2 May 1981) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Sheffield Wednesday. Kirkland started his career at Coventry City, where he was regarded as one of the country's most promising young goalkeepers. He was later signed by Premier League side Liverpool in 2001, where he went on to win one League Cup, one FA Community Shield, one UEFA Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League. However, his time at the club was blighted by recurring injuries, which almost caused him to retire from football altogether. He would later sign for Wigan Athletic in 2006, after a successful loan period, and he had further loan spells at both Leicester City and Doncaster Rovers before being signed by Sheffield Wednesday in 2012. Internationally, Kirkland has one cap for the England national team.
