POSITION: GOALKEEPER
LEV YASHIN (THE BLACK SPIDER)
22 October 1929 – 20 March 1990
World Cups: 1958, 1962 & 1966
Undoubtedly one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, if not the greatest. Lev Yashin made his World Cup debut in 1958 which is where he made his name as a goalkeeper and a soccer legend. Lev Yashin due to his excellent performances in this World Cup, especially against The Great Brazil team of 1958 including Pele & Garrincha, where he limited Brazil to just 2 goals, revolutionized Goalkeeping forever. He was nicknamed the Black Spider because of his full Black Kit and many footballers said he was like a spider with 8 Arms.
Lev Yashin was instrumental in getting the USSR to the quarter-finals of the 1958 & 1962 World Cup despite suffering two concussions in the latter. In 1966 Lev Yashin was an important part of the USSR team that finished 4th.
He was also the first ever Goal Keeper to win the European Player of the Year Award.
FIFA also introduced the Lev Yashin Award in the 1994 World Cup for the best Goalkeeper in honour of the great goalkeeper.
Defining Moment: The Entire 1958 World Cup especially against Brazil.
GORDON BANKS
Born 30 December 1937
World Cups: 1966 & 1970
Definitely another great goalkeeper following on from Lev Yashin. A Very important last line of defence in the 1966 World Cup which England won without conceding till Eusebio’s penalty in the semi-final. A True English Legend that unlike Lev Yashin WON the World Cup in 1966. Banks continued to be England’s number 1 in the 1970 World Cup and his form was still solid and spectacular.
Defining Moment: Winning the 1966 World Cup and the ‘SAVE OF THE CENTURY’ against Pele of Brazil in 1970. Check out this video and you decide.

SAVE OF THE CENTURY
DINO ZOFF
Born February 28 1942
World Cups: 1974, 1978 & 1982
Dino Zoff was the oldest player to ever win the FIFA World Cup with Italy in 1982 as well as only the second goalkeeper to win the World Cup as Captain. His solid performances for Italy throughout this World Cup assisted Italy to win their 3rd FIFA World Cup and 1st one Post World War II. Dino Zoff played 17 World Cup games for Italy in 1974, 1978 & 1982. He also holds the record of 1142 minutes without conceding in International Football between 1972 & 1974.
Defining Moment: Winning the 1982 World Cup as captain of Italy.
GIANLUCA BUFFON (GIGI BUFFON)
Born 28 January 1978
World Cups: 2002 & 2006 (Probably 2010 as well)
Definitely the greatest goalkeeper today (Casillas & Cech may object). His defining moment came in the 2006 World Cup where Italy were champions. His performances throughout the World Cup were solid and spectacular and allowed Italy to win their 4th World Cup. Italy’s success in this World Cup was definitely due to their great defence which Buffon was the last line as they only conceded 2 goals in the entire tournament, one being an own goal against USA in the first round and the 2nd a penalty from Zidane in the final. An amazing Defensive record which Buffon was an important part of. Definitely worthy of being mentioned in this list.
Defining Moment: Winning the 2006 World Cup conceding only 2 goals in 7 games.
