One of these three: Sepp Maier, Dino Zoff or David James (

Seriously though, this is the one prime area of concern that I have for England's World Cup campaign. I can see us getting through to the knock-out stages and then playing really well against one of the big teams, but losing the match due to some idiotic goalkeeping error.

We just don't have any home-grown talent between the sticks these days.

simple, "the goalie" aka andy goram. rangers legend. a goalie so good he prompted the then celtic manager the late tommy burns to say that on his headstone he will have "andy goram broke my heart" an unbelievable shot stopper and best iv ever seen.

Goram - He was a drunk but the best sweaty keeper I've seen

Peter Shilton. Each and every day. Nothing flashy, just outstanding goalkeeping.

The late great Brian Clough said of him, "He's worth ten points a season".

I can't believe nobodies said Lev Yashin. Guy saved over 150 penalties in his career

Better than Schmeichel, Banks, Shilton... any of them. He WAS the best IMHO.

You're fooking blind mate and I'm sure if he'd played for any club other than United anti Man U bias wouldnt cloud some people's judgement.

Schmeichel is the best keeper the game has ever seen. Prior to him it was "the iron curtain" Rinat Dasyev of Russia and prior to him Banksy but Schmeichel has the all time crown and will have it for quite some time jusging by what's around at the moment.
