Goalkeepers preceding Onana (in my lifetime)

This thread makes me feel very old... I can remember far too many before Chris Turner (who, I felt, was very underrated just because he was only 3ft 2in tall!). Stepney/Paddy Roche anybody? Roche was The Doc's blindspot...

Do you remember David Gaskell? I only mention him because he played for both United and my hometown club, Wrexham - nearly 100 appearances for each according to Wiki

So I googled it and it seems the previous world record fee for a GK in 2001 when he left Juventus was Peruzzi from Inter to Lazio the year before (2000) for £15,7m, before that the WR for a keeper was Pagliuca from Sampdoria to Inter for £7m in 1994.

Van Der Sar went for £7m to Fulham, which would puts him in the most expensive keepers ever category of the time, but in the same year Buffon went to Juventus from Parma for £33m which is why VDS left Juventus in the first place.

Didnt that make VDS the most expensive goalie in PL at that time? or was it Barthez cause i swear we broke transfer record for Barthez.

No, Buffon was, and he held that title for years.

I'm talking about PL term because obviously we all know that Buffon was the most expensive goalie in the world when he moved to Juve.

Might have been the most expensive GK in England, not sure though. I remember the transfer fee being a big deal at the time.
