@Cantona_Collars Schmeichel revolutionized the whole GK position and role. Before him, keepers didn't command their area, go 1v1 as a handballkeeper and certainly not considered an attacking force. Big Dane did all that before anyone else, and which is now mandatory for any GK.
@Cantona_Collars E. Nani was brilliant at times, but also frustrating. Few other players had this "heaven or hell" about them, but Nani was either or. You just sat there and hoped if he had a bad day, others could do the job better that day.
