Angus Gunn

Angus Fraser James Gunn was born on January 22, 1996, in Norwich, England. He was born into a footballing family, with his father, Bryan Gunn, being a former professional goalkeeper, most notably with Norwich City. Angus would go on to follow in his father's footsteps, becoming a professional goalkeeper himself and playing for various clubs in England.

In the summer of 2017, Angus Gunn joined Norwich City on a season-long loan from Manchester City. The move to Norwich, which was announced in June 2017, was an important step in his development as it gave him the chance to gain first-team experience. Gunn was highly rated as a young goalkeeper at Manchester City, but the move to Norwich allowed him to play regularly in the EFL Championship, England's second-tier professional league, showcasing his talents to a wider audience.

On July 10, 2018, Angus Gunn signed a five-year contract with Southampton, marking a significant step in his career. The transfer fee was reported to be around £13.5 million. His move to Southampton provided him an opportunity to play in the Premier League, the top tier of English football, and further his career at the professional level. Gunn's performances at Norwich City had impressed many, leading to his move to the premier league club.

On October 25, 2019, Angus Gunn was part of the Southampton team that suffered a 9-0 defeat to Leicester City in a Premier League match, which was a record-tying defeat in the Premier League. The match took place at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, and it was one of the largest margin victories in Premier League history. As the starting goalkeeper, Gunn faced significant scrutiny and criticism, though the defeat was seen as a collective failure by the entire team.

In October 2020, Angus Gunn agreed to a loan move to Stoke City from Southampton. The loan was initially meant to last until the end of the season and was a chance for Gunn to regain his form and confidence after a challenging period at Southampton. At Stoke City, he aimed to secure regular playing time and demonstrate his abilities as a reliable goalkeeper. The move was seen as an opportunity for Gunn to reset and build his reputation further.

In July 2021, Angus Gunn rejoined Norwich City, this time on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee. Having played previously for Norwich on loan, Gunn was familiar with the club and its environment, making his decision to return much easier. The move was described as a homecoming for Gunn, who had spent a successful loan spell at Norwich in the 2017-18 season. Norwich City, recently promoted to the Premier League, saw Gunn as a valuable addition to their squad.

On March 24, 2022, Angus Gunn made his debut for the Scottish national football team after switching his international allegiance from England to Scotland. Gunn, who was originally eligible to play for Scotland through his Scottish father, Bryan Gunn, made the choice to represent Scotland internationally after having played for England's youth teams. His debut for Scotland's senior team was seen as a fresh start and a proud moment for the Gunn family, having a new generation representing Scotland on the international stage.
