Flora MaDonald Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Agreed - total legend. One of my Italian mates told me he's never away from the hospital visiting sick kids. A class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euan2020 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Italy like their older keepers Also remember as a kid thinking Dino Zoff was really really old at 40 jesus - Buffon now has 159 caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there was actually no way possible to get the ball past him. most strikers were probably going to miss long before they hit a shot because of this. probably best keeper in my lifetime. also like casillas but you always got the feeling he was lucky rather than good if you know what i mean. cech was the best at one point too, but he is prone to a major howler from time to time, so not quite up there. i also really liked oliver khan, he had that same invincibility that buffon had aswell.

irnbruman Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Superb performance from the main man today against Spain including one fantastic save from Piquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think a lot of us remember him and Cannavaro coming out to applaud the fans when they beat us at Hampden. Iirc they got booed at the beginning then people realised what they were doing and returned the applause. Some fantastic saves tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geed Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Best goalkeeper in the world and ever in my opinion, the guy is like a brick wall, very hard to get through, I put money on a Belgium Italy final yesterday and way draws shaped up I can see it happening as Germany have a horrible record against the Italians.
