In the football league, if a goalkeeper blocks an opponent's goal throughout the game, it can be said that they are "keeping a clean sheet". In this post, we'll take a look at the most clean sheet goalkeepers in Premier League history.
Since the premier league was established at the beginning of the 1992-93 season, 15 goalkeepers have maintained 100 or more clean sheets in the Premier League.
Here are the top ten goalkeepers with the most zero goals conceded in Premier League history –
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" >10</h1>
Clubs: Blackburn, Newcastle, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Stoke City
Premier League games: 451
Premier League goals conceded: 113
Premier League champions: 0
Best known for his time at Newcastle United, Shay Givon was a very good goalscorer and one of the most consistent goalkeepers the Premier League has ever seen.
Frank Lampard appointed Given last year as Derby County's goalkeeper coach and described the Irishman's career as "incredible". His 113 zero goals conceded in England's top flight – basically an average of one in every four games – proves this.
More notably, Givon managed to keep 89 of them conceded zero goals at Newcastle, ending the Premier League first half only four times during his 12-year stay at the club. If there were no Irish, the magpies would surely be in trouble more often.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" >9</h1>
Clubs: Manchester City, Birmingham (on loan), West Ham (on loan), Burnley
Premier League games: 340
Premier League goals conceded: 127
Premier League champions: 2
Joe Hart was at the peak of his career during his time at Manchester City.
During Hart's trophy win for Manchester City, as many as 109 of the 127 Premier League goals were conceded during the period when he helped the club win two league titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup.
In the 2010–11 season, he won the Golden Glove award for the most goals conceded in the entire Premier League season. Hart replicated this feat in the 2011-12 season and was a key player in City's title-winning campaign.
In the following season, he won the Golden Glove award for the third consecutive year and won the Premier League title for the second time in 2014. In 2015, Hart won the Golden Glove Award again for the fourth time in five years. With Pep Guardiola arriving in 2016, Hart was eliminated by the new manager, making only one appearance in the Champions League before being loaned to Turin and West Ham for several consecutive seasons.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" >8</h1>
Clubs: Manchester United, Aston Villa, Manchester City
Premier League games: 310
Premier League goals conceded: 128
Premier League champions: 5
It's hard to find someone who doesn't think Peter Schmeichel is the greatest goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen.
While the introduction of the back-pass rule may have highlighted a slight weakness in Schmeichel's foot, the Dane is actually one of the biggest advocates of a rule change and a radical change in the way it plays. In turn, with his iconic starfish save, Schmeichel had the same influence on the art of goalkeepers, making it a truly professional position.
The 6'3-inch stopper was a key part of Sir Alex Ferguson's five-team premier League title, including the 1999 treble, while his upper-arm sling allowed United to strike back with multiple goals. If that wasn't enough, Schmeichel even made himself into the scoring table in a 3-2 away win over Everton during his 2001 for Aston Villa, becoming the first Premier League goalkeeper to do so.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36">=7。 Edwin van der Sar</h1>
Clubs: Fulham, Manchester United
Premier League games: 313
Premier League goals conceded: 132
Premier League champions: 4
During his two years at Juventus, van der Sar struggled with form, and in 2001 van der Sar reinvigorated at Fulham and set about reviving his reputation as one of Europe's most stable goalkeepers. He did just that in his 127 appearances for the copycats and helped londoners extend their stay in the Premier League, which was much longer than many expected. It also eventually won the chance to return to the top with Manchester United.
There, van der Sar helped the Reds re-establish their dominance in the Premier League, winning the title four times in numerous other honours, and the flying Dutchman is often considered "the first world-class Manchester United goalkeeper after Peter". Schmeichel'.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44">=7。 Tim Howard</h1>
Clubs: Manchester United, Everton
Premier League games: 399
Howard started his career with the North Jersey Empire before moving to the Metro Stars. His appearance quickly caught the attention of Premier League club Manchester United, who signed him in 2003.
He has had relative success at the club as they won the 2003 FA Community Shield, the 2003–04 FA Cup and the 2005–06 League Cup. However, after United signed goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Howard was loaned to Everton to play more first-team football and eventually signed them permanently in February 2007. During his 5-year tenure he scored up to 116 zero goals for Everton.
On 4 January 2012, Howard scored his first goal in the Premier League against Bolton Wanderers, becoming the fourth goalkeeper in the Premier League to score. In 2016, Howard returned to MLS to sign for the Colorado Rapids.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53">=7。 Brad Friedel</h1>
Clubs: Liverpool, Blackburn, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur
Premier League games: 450
Brad Frieder signed for Liverpool in 1997 and had little impact on the team. It wasn't until he moved to Blackburn in 2000 that Friedel proved his worth.
After helping Blackburn return to his first season in the Premier League, Friedel quickly showed himself. His performances won praise from almost everyone in the game, and in 2003 he was named Premier League Player of the Year after maintaining 15 games with zero goals conceded.
Friedel left Blackburn for Aston Villa in 2008, where he went on to prove himself one of the best goalkeepers the Premier League has ever seen.
Friedel then caught the attention of Tottenham Hotspur. His experience and ability allowed the Spurs to finally fill their goalkeeper position with a steady and steady goalkeeper before he retired.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" >6</h1>
Club: Liverpool
Premier League games: 285
Premier League goals conceded: 134
Frankly, Pepe Reina's 47.02% non-goal rate is remarkable. This is the highest percentage of all goalkeepers with more than 100 zero goals conceded.
Playing under one of the best defensive managers around Rafa Benitez may have helped him, but what the Spanish goalkeeper has done is enough to contribute to his own stats.
Renner was one of the first goalkeepers in the Premier League to really embrace playing at his feet.
His only real flaw is the tendency to have a strangely unstable moment, which makes Rena more unpredictable than the other goalkeepers on the list. He also spent his time at Anfield.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" >5</h1>
Clubs: Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Everton
Premier League games: 372
Premier League goals conceded: 137
Nigel Martin started his Premier League life at Crystal Palace. He later joined Leeds United and ended his career at Everton.
Martin has twice set the record for England's most expensive goalkeeper. When he moved to Crystal Palace in 1989, he was the first goalkeeper to sell for £1 million and broke the record again with a £2.5 million move to Leeds United.
At Leeds United, Martin quickly became known as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, boosting the reputation he had already earned him in England.
At Everton and Leeds United, Martin was a key member of a team that exceeded everyone's expectations. Leeds United reached the Champions League semi-finals and Everton set the highest ever record in the Premier League.
On a personal level, Martyn's real irony is the timing of his career. In another generation, Martin will have more than 23 England appearances. However, for most of his career, David Seaman excluded him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" >4</h1>
Clubs: Arsenal, Manchester City
Premier League games: 344
Premier League goals not conceded: 140 shots
David Seaman is rock solid behind Arsenal's watery defence, an incredible goalkeeper on the pitch and an absolute gentleman off the pitch.
Seaman helped the Gunners win two Premier League titles in two games in Highbury, and while he didn't have the best possession of the ball at his feet, like the goalkeeper at the time, his shooting ability was almost universally unbounded.
Simman also exudes a calm atmosphere behind Arsenal's four, which only really recovered when Cech moved from Chelsea to north London.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" >3</h1>
Clubs: Middlesbrough, Fulham, Chelsea, Leicester City
Premier League games: 514
Premier League goals conceded: 151
Premier League Champions: 1
Mark Schwarzer has built himself a good reputation as one of the top goalkeepers in the history of the Premier League.
He caught the national attention in Middlesbrough and his incredible shooting ability not only ensured their safety in the Premier League, but ultimately helped them qualify for Europe.
In fact, it was Schwarzer who saved a penalty in the last minute that made Middlesbrough eligible for the UEFA Cup.
After 11 years in Middlesbrough, Schwarzer left and traded at Fulham, Chelsea and Leicester City.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="103" >2</h1>
Clubs: Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Manchester City, Portsmouth
Premier League games: 572
Premier League goals conceded: 169
David James was the premier Liverpool goalkeeper in the Premier League, making his debut for the club in their first Premier League game.
His time at Liverpool has left his reputation crumbling. He is known for his mistakes and excellent stoppages.
After seven years at Liverpool, James was sold to Aston Villa. He then went on to represent West Ham United and Manchester City before ending his premier league days at Portsmouth.
It took James a long time to shake off his early reputation as a misguider. However, throughout his career, before leaving Portsmouth in 2010, he was still considered one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.
James really improved in the classroom during his time as a veteran at Portsmouth. His record at Portsmouth has been incredible and he is a key member of their team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="114" ></h1>
Clubs: Chelsea, Arsenal
Premier League games: 443
Premier League goals conceded: 202
Cech may have announced his retirement, but Cech has yet to fully enter Chelsea's board and dabble in hockey.
With no goalkeeper maintaining zero goals conceded in the Premier League (202), only Ben Foster (1,102) saved (1,005) more than Cech, and his exploits helped Chelsea win four titles between 2004 and 2015.
Cech's first season with the Blues in 2004/05 was arguably at its peak, breaking the record for the most clean sheets in a single season (24) while conceding a goal in 10 consecutive games.
However, he has made 443 appearances in england's top flight to date and his longevity is impressive. No wonder Casillas described Cech as "one of the best goalkeepers he's ever met".
