Buffon wins 'keeping crown
Monday 19 January, 2009
Juventus star Gigi Buffon is the best goalkeeper in football history, according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
The IFFHS is an organisation that uses statistical data to analyse and classify footballers and clubs.
While their studies are widely respected, they also have their detractors who feel football cannot be reduced to a series of numbers.
According to their latest study of goalkeepers, Azzurri No 1 Buffon beats former Manchester United and Denmark custodian Peter Schmeichel to the all-time 'keeping crown.
Spanish shot-stopper Iker Casillas was awarded third place with German legend Oliver Kahn in fourth and Paraguayan international Jose Luis Chilavert in fifth spot.
Buffon was awarded the IFFHS' best goalkeeper award in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007.
