There's a reason why Yashin is accepted as the greatest keeper of the last century, was voted as such by many (if not all) organizations including FIFA and the IFFHS, and Schmeichel was ranked a very distant 7th, with 1/5th the vote, by the "experts". Don't let the shirt fool you. Did my research, recommend you do the same, not on YouTube. Bruno, respect your opinion and all, but shouldn't the greatest keeper of all time have more than 15 caps, including some over Dida? Omar, checking and….the list is two deep.

Try some Brazilian keepers: Tafareu, Rogerio Ceni, Marcos, Dida... there are some real geniuses there.

With all due respect to Yashin the players and bigger, stronger and faster than in his time so a direct comparison isn't quite fair. The consistant quality of his saves against the best players in the world is remarkable. Gigi Buffon is without question the best we have ever seen play the game in that position.

Buffon is an amazing goalkeeper and has been throughout most of his career. But I would also add van der Sar (minus his year at Juventus), Cech, Barthez, Casillas and Oliver Kahn.

That kinda save happens week in week out in the world of football. Am a fan of Buffon too, but it's ridiculous to say he is the best.

You are exaggerating on the players staring at Buffon's save. There is hardly any player staring, and it's pretty standard for ppl to be amazed at unique plays. And am sure your opinion might be different if that was a two handed save. Obviously, you are very biased in your analysis. Maybe you need to do a little more research before you start sharing your expert opinion. Far from being short, the list has many many players who can fight for the award. Goycochea, Zenga, Petr Cech(still playing), Banks, are just a few you have left out! Go and look for their videos. You must be kidding not to have even considered Peter Schmeichel.
