Redcafe's All-Time Top 20. Goalkeepers | Results

4. Oliver Kahn. 392 points



Possibly the most intimidating keeper of all-time, Kahn beats Neuer in the close race for the 4th place in our list. That also makes him the best German keeper of all-time. It's pointless to list all of his accolades, as there are so many, and I don't think that he needs any introduction. Congratulations — although I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be happy with a fourth place.
 
3. Peter Schmeichel. 530 points

United's greatest ever keeper, Danish hero of 1992... signed for £505,000 :drool:
 
2. Lev Yashin. 814 points



I'm guessing everyone knew how the top-2 would look like. The greatest keeper of XX century and the only keeper to win Ballon d'Or ended up as a runner up, but it was a close call. If I would've been more patriotic and put Yashin first, he would've won the poll :)
 
1. Gianluigi Buffon. 832 points

@harms
Fantastic contribution, great write ups. Really puts the icing on the cake for this top 20 project.
 
Mind correcting the spellings of Grosics, Mazurkiewicz and Pagliuca @harms ? Irks me a bit and it is the threadmarked post after all. :nervous:

Great job on all of this, really fun to read especially for someone that did not know all of these guys very well beforehand. :)

Cheers, haven’t checked the list before posting.
 
Good job @harms enjoyed reading those.
 
Great stuff @harms You should have been more patriotic though. It was a probably after a bad patch but I remember calling him Gianluigi Buffoon for a while

I have been calling him that ever since he did not name De Gea in his list of top 5 current goalkeepers in the world. Fecking buffoon.
 
Awesome @harms if I may suggest, please move your results to Page 1 and let the voting discussions follow later on.
Yeah, such an obvious thing to do that somehow slipped my mind. I'll edit the list later so that it looks more presentable.
