    The great Lev Yashin. Before Banks Yashin was the goalie you pretended to be if you were keeper in the playground. Who remembers the words to the Yashin song we sang on the Tivoli in the 60s (of course you will all know the tune as Cielito Lindo)

    Yes - he was the prototype modern goalkeeper. Before him, goalkeepers used to stay on the goal-line, and not come out to narrow the shooting angles, etc . He was quite tall by the standards of the day, and because of his excellent positioning, he seemed to attract the ball to him like a magnet, blocking shots or collecting the ball without needing to move much usually.
