Amazing article on TM’s starting GK. You have to feel for the guy after reading this

[Leicester City]

I'm going to call him BAEranvand because he's so BAE

[Tehranto]

Amazing story. Just tough even reading through it.

"After all, for the nomad people, the journey never ends."

I got chills reading that.

He’s made it this far, now just needs to continue recent form and summon up the mental strength to put in three top, mistake free performances and the world will take notice of him. Come on beira

[Leicester City]

From sleeping on the ground to being a 75 rated GK on FIFA 18. Not bad.

Tbf... I don't think any other top keeper had the hardships of Beiranvand in Europe.

I'm hoping he is the Keylor Navas of 2018. The dude deserves it.

Who says we can't be the Costa Rica of 2014??? After all, they probably had an even harder group than us! With England, Uruguay, and Italy AND THEY STILL QUALIFIED TO THE ROUND OF 16!!!

Last night I had a dream Azmoun scored two and we beat Morocco. So says that can't happen in real life!?! I think we can shock the world!!

I remember someone linking a video to his interview on Iranian TV a few weeks ago where he described the hardships he faced while pursuing his football dream. I became his fan instantly.

He is a wonderful, hard working and humble man. I wish him great success not only at this WC but for the rest of his career.

[Saam]

Wow, made me tear up. I was always a big fan of his and now even more.

[Martin-Reza]

Didn't know that before, wow, respect!

[enikoravesh]

I suffered many difficulties to make my dreams come true but I have no intention of forgetting them" goes down as one of my favourite quotes

[Babak agha]

He can be even worse than Karius on the WC and everybody still would love him. Talking about determination.

[Medzdidz]

Thank you for the article , I was just thinking to myself earlier about how far he can throw a ball and this article explains it all. I wish him the most successful future , he is an example to all the young footballers out there.
