Amazing Keepers
Gordon Banks
Said by many to be the greatest goalkeeper of all time, Gordon Banks will forever be identified for his save from Pele’s header in the course of the 1970 World Cup Finals. Yet those who saw Banks play knew he was worthy of duplicating such an exploit on an icy December afternoon when all that was at peril was two points. He wasn’t just great – he was consistently on top of his game and a Banks’ howler was very extraordinary indeed.
Peter Shilton
One of the ace, consumed players, Peter Shilton set out to become the superior goal keeper of all time. Folklore has it that on being told he might not make the standard because he wasn’t towering enough, Shilton went home and began a training regime that involved spending hours at a time hanging from the stairs in experiment to add inches to his skeleton. He wanted it that greatly.
Peter Schmeichel
This Danish great goalkeeper was very notorious for his acrobatic movement in the field. He is the most capped player for Denmark with his 129 international matches. He spent his golden time of his club career with famous English premier League club man utd where he played 292 matches. He won the 1992 European Championship with his homeland Denmark. He became the ‘World’s Best Goalie’ for two times. He also led his homeland for 30 matches as captain. He won the champions league with Manchester United. He is an enlistee of the English Football Hall of Fame.
Sepp Maier
Maier is another rare battler under the goal bar. This great player of West Germany was very functioning in the field and his supple movement made him an instant titan for the opposition strikers and wingers. In 1974 he helped Germany to win the world cup on their soil. In the tournament he would accomplish four matches with clean sheet out of seven matches. He played for Bayern Munich for his whole career where he played in successive 422 matches which is still an achievement for German football league. He achieved four West German leagues and three UEFA champions leagues with Bayern Munich. Later after his retirement form football he has been a goal keeper coach for Germany national squad.
Lev Yashin
Noted for consistently wearing a distinctive all-black strip when playing, Yashin is one of the few goalkeepers who could genuinely compete with Gordon Banks for the salutation of greatest goalie of all-time.
Pat Jennings
If ever there was a goal keeper that could be portrayed as atypical of the class, it was Pat Jennings. Unorthodox, unflappable, honorable and courteous, Jennings commanded his penalty area with an air of casualness and calmness that would humiliate Peter Schmeichel into retirement. Yet in spite of never receiving any formal kind of coaching – or even because of it – he become one of the most excellent goalies the game has ever seen.
Dino Zoff
Dino Zoff is an Italian legendary football goal keeper and the most aged ever champion of the World Cup as a skipper of the Italian national squad in Spain in the 1982 World Cup.
