Lev Ivanovich Yashin, nicknamed the "Black Spider" or the "Black Panther", was a Soviet-Russian football goalkeeper, considered by many to be the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the game. Lev Ivanovich Yashinwas a Soviet professional goalkeeper, known for his athleticism, positioning, stature, imposing presence in goal, and acrobatic reflex saves.
Yashin earned status for revolutionising the goalkeeping position by imposing his authority on the entire defense.
Yashin appeared in four World Cups from 1958 to 1970, and in 2002 was chosen on the FIFA Dream Team of the history of World Cups. In 1994, he was chosen for the FIFA World Cup All-Time Team, and in 1998 was chosen as a member of the World Team of the 20th Century. According to FIFA, Yashin saved over 150 penalty kicks in professional football - more than any other goalkeeper. He also kept over 270 clean sheets in his career, winning a gold medal at the 1956 Olympic football tournament, and the 1960 European Championships. In 1963, Yashin received the Ballon d'Or, the only goalkeeper ever to receive the award. He was voted the best goalkeeper of the 20th century by the IFFHS.
Gordon Banks is a former England international football goalkeeper. He made 628 appearances during a 15-year career in the Football League, and won 73 caps for his country. Regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, the IFFHS named Banks the second-best goalkeeper of the 20th century after Lev Yashin.
He played every game of the victorious 1966 World Cup and he made one of the game's great saves to prevent a Pelé goal in the 1970 World Cup, but was absent due to illness as England were beaten by West Germany at the quarter-final stage. Pelé, and numerous journalists and pundits, would later describe the save as the greatest in the history of the game. This was one of the greatest moments in World Cup history.
Dino Zoff is an Italian former professional football goalkeeper and is the oldest ever winner of the World Cup, which he earned as captain of the Italian national team in the 1982 tournament in Spain, at the age of 40 years, 4 months and 13 days, also winning the award for best goalkeeper of the tournament. Zoff also achieved great club success with Juventus, winning 6 Serie A titles, 2 Coppa Italia titles, and an UEFA Cup. He was elected the 3nd goalkeeper of 20th century by the IFFHS behind Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.
He was capped 112 times with the Azzuri. He also placed 2nd in the 1973 Ballon d'Or.
Italy has two of the greatest goalkeepers of all times.
