[edit] List of notable goalkeepers
I suggest that we nuke the list "Current notable goalkeepers" and "Notable Goalkeepers Of The Past". They are subjective lists with arbitrary inclusion criteria. We could replace them with a more authoritative list, has FIFA created such a list? Punkmorten 11:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- I second that. What about the IFFHS 20 Keepers of the Century for the historical perspective and IFFHS' World's Best Goalkeeper of the Year for an annually updated list? UEFA has the UEFA Club Football Awards#Best Goalkeeper prize, but that is too Eurocentric. I don't know about FIFA, apart from the FIFA World Cup awards#Yashin Award and FIFA World Cup awards#All-Star Teams. Poulsen 11:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- I agree as well. There are too many great goalkeepers to name, its better to stay neutral. I have added the direct link to the IFFHS page on the "Century's best goalkeeper"; the top 20 or 25 can be added in wiki format to replace the "Notable GK's of the past" list. As for the "Current notable goalkeepers" list, the IFFHS also has a worldwide yearly selection from 1987 to 2004, of which the winners can be included on a year-by year list. I am not sure if there is such selection before or after those years. The Yashin Award winners should also be mentioned or linked to. --ChaChaFut 17:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- Good. By the way, is there any such list for female goalkeepers? Punkmorten 09:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

- Goalie is not just a US term.
