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

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

The greatest keeper of XXI century and the greatest keeper of all-time, the great Gianluigi.

@harms
Fantastic contribution, great write ups. Really puts the icing on the cake for this top 20 project.

Enigma_87 · Jul 17, 2019

Awesome @harms ! Keep it up please!

Swarm · Jul 17, 2019

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.

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

Edgar Allan Pillow · Jul 17, 2019

Awesome @harms if I may suggest, please move your results to Page 1 and let the voting discussions follow later on.

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.

Yeah, such an obvious thing to do that somehow slipped my mind. I'll edit the list later so that it looks more presentable.
