Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina has hailed Brad Friedel as an inspiration.
Tottenham keeper Friedel, 40, will make his 290th consecutive Premier League appearance at Anfield tonight.
Friedel last missed a game when former club Blackburn faced Birmingham City at Ewood Park back in May 2004 and since then has been an ever-present for Aston Villa and now Spurs.
Reina, 29, will make his 176th consecutive league appearance for Liverpool.
He said: “I would love to beat Brad’s record one day but I know it’s going to be very difficult.”
