Known for

• To be one of the best goalkeepers in the English Premier League.
• Set the Manchester City record for most goals conceded during the season. During the 2010-2011 season, he kept 29 clean sheets, beating Nicky Weaver’s record of 26 clean sheets.
• Winning the coveted Premier League Golden Glove award for four seasons, including three consecutive awards from the 2010/2011 season to the 2012/2013 season. This is a record for the most Golden Glove awards.
• Win two English Premier League titles with Manchester City.

First football game

On 24 April 2004, Joe Hart made his senior debut for his hometown team Shrewsbury Town in a 1–1 draw against Ebbsfleet United in a football conference game.

Due to injuries to Andreas Isaksson and Nicky Weaver, he made his Manchester City debut on 14 October 2006 in a Premier League match against Sheffield United. The match was a goalless draw.

On September 11, 2016, he made his Torino debut against Atlanta in a 2-1 away loss in Serie A: his debut was less than ideal, however, as he was at fault for the first goal when his errant corner kick went to the opposing team’s player, who promptly scored a goal.

Strengthen

• Save long recordings
• Sharp and instinctive reflexes
• command of his target area
• Technical goalkeeping ability

weaknesses

First TV show

In 2009 he was featured on a sports game show A Matter of Sports as himself in an episode #38.16.

Personal trainer

Joe Hart trains seven days a week to maintain the fitness and explosive strength that has made him one of the finest keepers of his generation. His usual daily workout routine is around three hours. He spends the first 30 minutes of the workout doing dynamic stretching and light warm-up exercises. He then spends 90 minutes on the field doing ball work and game-specific training. He finishes his training session with an hour at the gym.

As a goalie, you need explosive power and flexibility, not muscle. And Hart certainly focuses on that aspect, working mostly on the lower body, core and his balance in the gym. His leg workouts involve using TRX bands for added resistance. He’s also a big fan of Pilates and stability exercises. Check out Joe Hart’s typical workout here.

Usually, Joe starts his day with a bowl of porridge loaded with berries and fruits. His lunch includes meat and roasted vegetables, and some days it’s just a large salad. He keeps his dinner simple with white fish and vegetables.

2. As well as cricket and football, he was also a good tennis and rugby player.
3. However, due to cricket, he had to suffer back problems growing up. According to his father he had a terrible bowling action and in search of fast and aggressive bowling he put a lot of strain on his lower back.
4. Joe’s sporting heroes are David Seaman and PeterSchmeichel. In an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper (as part of the Head & Shoulders sponsorship scheme) he revealed that he would like to win titles like Schmeichel, which he won with Manchester United.
5. In an interview with Shortlist, he revealed that he once received a request from a young fan to autograph a condom. As expected, he shot down the request.
6. Even before he decided to join Manchester City, his obvious talent was recognized. While on a one-season loan deal at Birmingham City in the 2009/2010 season, he won the PFA Young Player of the Year nomination and was declared Premier League Goalkeeper of the Season.
7. Early in his career, he earned a bad reputation for his partying lifestyle and boozing. Once he was partying into the early hours in a bar in Puerto Banus before joining the England national team. Then, in October 2010, he was spotted drinking and dancing at a late-night student party on his club’s bonding trip to St Andrews.

9. He was rumored to have barred children from the event for his Italian wedding to Kimberly Crew. It was reported that he and his fiancee had mentioned – Sorry No Bambinos – on the wedding card.
10. Joe Hart bore the brunt of his national team’s poor performance in the 2016 UEFA Euro competition. His two profile mistakes, including one against Iceland which resulted in Kolbeinn Sigþórsson scoring a winning goal, didn’t help his cause either.
11. He listens to all types of music, but hip hop, UK grime and indie are his favorite music genres.
12. Also in his last game for Manchester City before moving to Turin, he was made captain by manager Pep Guardiola. He gave teary-eyed applause to fans after the Champions League qualifier against Steaua, leading many to speculate that it was his last game for the club.
