22 Peter Shilton


Shilton was a great keeper in his day Though he came up against English keepers of the calibre of Banks and Clemence in the competition for England caps, he still managed to win 125 caps, playing in the world cup semi-finals at age 40. Signed by Nottingham Forest for a record fee for a keeper, he went on to guard their impenetrable goal during the season in which they won the league title and later moved on to Southampton.
For: Great reflexes and worked hard to develop his skills as a keeper, improving year on year, A model pro
Against: Wasn't as tall as some keepers
