The big stopper was crucial as the Hornets completed a double and had a tearful farewell.On trophy day, he was serenaded. A week later, in the Scottish Cup final, he ended his career on a very high note, keeping a clean sheet as his team defeated Rangers 1-0.

Hart made it clear when he first declared his retirement that he had no intention of becoming a coach. Instead, it has been confirmed that he will be a BBC commentator during the Euros. The Englishman gave a justification for his choice.

He stated, “I wanted to go into punditry so that I could hopefully help people understand the position a little bit better and educate people who are interested in goalkeeping” (BBC).

“I’ll do my best to accomplish that by providing the viewpoint of a goalie, which can differ greatly from that of an outfield player. Whenever a goal is scored, the TV commentary often focuses on how the goalie could have performed better or made a mistake. Of course, that is possible, and my purpose in this position is not to shield goalies from criticism, but one of the ways I examined my own performances during my career was to determine the precise causes of certain events.

I want to try to investigate and clarify the fact that goals frequently involve more complexity than might initially seem. I also want to discuss all the various factors that can influence a goalkeeper, including the positions they occupy and the way they interact with their defenders, the movement of the ball, and everything else going on in front of them.

“I’m willing to go into detail about these things, even though they might seem straightforward.”
