I believe this is from IFFHS... And I think this was done in early 2010/2009, not sure.

I think it's quite fair, but Kahn should be in 2nd IMO.

You're right actually.I read this a long time back on Goal.com.

I feel Seaman is incredibly low on this list, also Peruzzi is a bit underrated aswell.

Oh yh how the hell is Akinfeev on this list ?

And yh like Crimson iam interested to what the numbers mean and how came to this conclusion tbh.....

That list is full of fail.

Akinfeev? Cech in top 10?

LULZ.

At least Superman is number 1, which is all that counts.

cech 7th best keeper in the last 25 years

abbondanzieri better than canizares



genuine question, do the people at iffhs think that anyone takes them seriously?

Ridiculous list tbh.

I am a Liverpool fan but Jerzey Dudek at 36 come on .Was he really that good for Poland?

And Kahn at 5 seriously

Saying the list is full of shit is an understatement.Any source how they came this order.

Valdes and Lehmann above Shilton?

:lol!:

Valdes 24

isnt this old?

Schmeichel should be higher. that IFHHS or whatever its called is a joke

Honestly i dont think Van Der sar was as good as Peter Schmeichel let alone better than him either.I suppose United fans could judge that better.

Either way he wasnt better than Kahn thats for sure.

Schmeichel is probably the best goalkeeper i have seen consistently along with Buffon i have no qualms with Buffon being top but for Schmeichel to be outside the top 3 is unacceptable imho.

When I saw vldes in that list I immediately stopped tking the list seriously...VDS hs been the best GK in the last decade, holds the Europen record for most consecutive clen sheets...

Buffon rightly #1. Best 'keeper I have ever seen.

Saying that Kahn should be #2.

Well, of course I'd rank Oliver Kahn higher than 5. But then, that's just me ^^

Canizares is bit underrated,he was fairly better than reina and valdes..

Buffon

Tafarel

He should be higher !

I think I've seen this before . They gave them points for being in the top 20 goal-keepers , each year over the past 25 years . So it's natural the overall list would look a bit odd , it doesn't indicate who is the best keeper . Rather who was in the top lists year after year . And of course , that doesn't help the guys who retired during the period.

Dudek was a great goalkeeper!! Our national team sucks but we always have great goalkeepers!!

what a disgrace, put the stats and accomplishments from kahn and buffon beside each other...

Casillas helped his national team win the World Cup by making wonderful saves to deny Robben, saved them in the penelty against Ghana.

Kahn screws up and hands Brazil the victory in the World Cup.

And people want Kahn as #2 over Casillas? ffs...

Casillas is 2 and rightfully so.
