best ways to keep warm on a football pitch

i've been wonding about this for a while now, and decided to look here for an answer,

i play in goal for a football (soccer) team, and while playing in matches, often in the wind and rain, i often find myself getting cold/wet. Are there any positions that i can stand it to minimise the ammount of me getting wet, cold etc.

That's a tough one.

Wear layers of clothing. Try the outdoor retailers - they sell a lot of fancy thermal gear that keeps you warm even when it's wet.

Are there restrictions on what you can wear? I hear some footballers don  mittens these days, but the commentators on the radio call them pansies for doing that. As far as I know, goalies have always worn gloves, haven't they? If you can wear a hat, then try getting one with a layer of fleece and a layer of breathable shell material - these are excellent.

Don't start the game hungry - nothing makes you chillier than an empty stomach.

You used to get novelty hats with a built-in umbrella on top... that would be ideal when it's not too windy, but you might prefer to endure the cold than a ribbing from your mates :)
