The Greatest Goalkeepers of All Time
Shirt number: 1
Goalkeepers are a different breed. With a unique set of skills they are like no-one else on a team and are often a different type of character. More than any other player though, a goalkeeper can make the difference between a team winning and losing. A great goalkeeper makes impossible saves, provides unfailing consistency, dominates his defence and gives belief to the whole team. These are the 30 greatest of all time, listed in chronological order.
