    Who was that keeper who played a cup final with a broken arm?

    Don't know how good he was, but deserves respect.

    Other than that, Peter Shilton - was playing till nearly 50yo wasn't he?

    Broken arm, pah!

    Bert Troutman broke his neck in an F.A. Cup final, and played on.

    In that case, I agree he was probably one of the best ever. 🙂

    I do believe your choices to be slightly biased ASROMA?

    Never saw Yashin but Banks was good. Best I have seen live is Schmeichel. I nterested in how Banks & Co would have done today in the no back pass era Kicking and sweeping are as much a skill of goalkeeping as shop stopping and dealing with crosses.

    Mr Yashin and I have something in common.

    We both aren't Italian 😉

    Penalty kicks are a lottery.
    If the player scores, he did only the obligacion.
    If not, he was a moron.
    The GK haven´t nothing to lose.

    About call Ravelli as 'Swedish Clown', it´s because
    the WC 94 semifinals when, during the game,
    before Romário scores, a Brazilian player kicks the
    ball too far, and Ravelli, looking for a camera, did a
    great smile, running and jumping. I was nervous seeing
    the game live on TV. When Ravelli did it, I talked:
    'What a [censored] clown!!!'
    You can imagine my screams during the goal and after
    the full time... 🙂

    Thomas Ravelli was great, but not the best.

    Lev Yashin was Russian. Best Goal-keeper ever only rivalled by Gordon Banks.
