derek1872 548 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Who is the best goalkeeper ever. In you opinion. Give a reason why.I think my generation (guys 35-45) have had a truly golden era of Keepers, older guys may argue keepers in their day where the best. For me the best ever was Peter Schmeical. The guy had everything. Wonderful keeper. Some other crackers from around the same time. Top 5 for me would be:1. Peter Schmeical2. Buffon3. Walter Zenga4. Casillas5.

Sobatai 70 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 More seriously, I saw Schmeichel at his peak and I don't think he was as good as Southall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Before my time, sadly.Before my time aswell but it doesn't mean I can't look back objectivley going by reports from people who have seem him about how good he was and goalkeeping is one aspect of the game that hasn't changed over time infact it's got easier with the introduction of gloves and softer footballs. He is the only keeper to win European Player Of The Year, Voted by FIFA as the best goalkeeper in the last century, saved 150 penalties.

Im using keepers from my era because they are the keepers IMO who where the best. I can see why he would go for Yashin. On paper he is the best ever.
