Casillas

Single handedly took an awful Spanish side to the World Cup.

I voted Neuer, although, I have never studied some of the others on the list, so its all based on what I've seen. Schmeichel runs him close, even if he was a c###!

Shilton was superb.

In regard to Seaman - it makes such a huge difference to the whole team if they know that last line of defence is so reliable. That 90/91 side doesn't get the credit it deserves compared the invincibles. We lost one game - away to Chelsea. I was there. It was so depressing. Their ground was so shit, and we were stuck in the away end freezing cold for about an hour afterwards. Their ground staff were cutting the grass on a little tractor mower, and doing that thing with the horn - BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP.

1990/91 P38 W24 D13 L1 F74 A18 GD+56 POINTS 83

2003/04 P38 W26 D12 L0 F73 A26 GD+47 POINTS 90
