In the final few years of his career he did have a rather unfortunate haircut, and he always had an unfortunate surname, but despite all of this he was a bloody good goalkeeper. Arsenal's number one in the 'one nil to the Arsenal' days and the most trophy-laden period of Arsene Wenger's tenure, Seaman was ever-dependable in goal for the Gunners - ...
Victor Valdes isn't the first player you think of when you think of Pep Guardiola's Barcelona side. In fact, he's probably the last player you think of - except for maybe Dmytro Chygrynskiy ('Who?' Exactly). But that's not his fault, is it? It's actually your fault, so hang your head in shame. Because Valdes was an integral member of the Barcelona...
Diego Simeone: "We have a goalkeeper who is the best in the world, no doubt. It's like Barcelona who have Messi. He decides games with his attacking play; Oblak resolves them with his saves." One of just three goalkeepers still playing today, and the only one in his prime - spoilers - Jan Oblak is, by quite a distance, the best goalkeeper in the wo...
Warning! the following sentence will annoy Manchester City and Liverpool fans: Claudio Taffarel is the best Brazilian goalkeeper of the modern era. See - I told you it would. Look, in 10 years time Alisson may be considered to have been the better goalkeeper (Ederson won't, get a grip City fans), but at this very moment in time Taffarel is the best...
Harald Schumacher is remembered as somewhat of a supervillain of 1980s football because of that time he nearly beheaded Patrick Battison. Oh, and the whole involvement in the doping scandal. But instead of focusing on his Thanos level villainy, here's a few good things about Schumacher and why he's considered to be the 21st best goalkeeper of all t...
Known as the 'Iron Curtain', it's fair to say that Rinat Dasayev has the best nickname on this list. Dasayev more than lived up to that amazing nickname during his playing career. Known for his fairly ridiculous long-throw and his insistence in saving every shot with one hand, Dasayev would rack up 91 caps for the Soviet Union in their 'golden' sid...
While Claudio Taffarel is the best Brazilian goalkeeper of the modern era, Gylmar dos Santos Neves is the best Brazilian goalkeeper of all time. Period. Known as 'Pele's Goalkeeper', Gilmar was Brazil's calming influence in between the sticks for in their 1958 and 1962 World Cup-winning campaigns. Fun fact:Saved two penalties in friendly meeting wi...
Andoni Zubizarreta isn't the type of you goalkeeper you find save compilations of on YouTube. He wasn't your Jordan Pickford 'oh look I made this really simple save look unbelievably difficult' type goalkeeper. Instead, Zubizarreta made everything look simple. He made every save look simple. He made six La Liga titles. He made a European Cup triump...
From a goalkeeper with no YouTube highlights, to one with a highlight compilation titled: 'José Luis Chilavert, El Bulldog [Best Saves & Goals]'. Jose Chilavert, unlike Zubizarreta, was very much all about the thrills. Be that making audaciously brilliant saves, or scoring free kicks, if it got the crowd on their feet, he would do it. The Paraguaya...
Ok, it's time to list off some records Petr Cech holds: - Most clean sheets in Premier Leaguehistory. - Most Premier League Golden Glove awards. - Most clean sheets in a single Premier League season. - Highest save percentage of the 2010s in the UEFA Champions League. Of course he's on this list. Fun fact: In 2005, I named the protagonist in a sho...
