In football goalkeeper is the last line of defense, and sometimes the first line of attack. Good goalkeepers are praised as heroes and are often responsible for keeping teams in the game. However, when a goalkeeper messes up often he has to go through hell. Just ask English goalkeeper Robert Green what was it likes for him when he made a mistake at World championship in 2010 against USA.
Times when goalkeepers as most other players played for a symbolic figure are long gone. First of the goalkeepers that broke the limit of 1000 pounds was Peter Shilton in 1979, when to transfer to Nottingham Forest he received 1200 pounds a week.
Today the situation so a lot different… Prices even for those average goalkeepers exceed several million Euros. Although for Buffon, who is the best paid goalkeeper, Juventus paid 32 million Euros, compared to BEST PAID FOOTBALL PLAYERS this amount is nowhere near enough to place him in the 10 best paid football players. Namely to replace Mezut Ozil, who is located on the 10th place, he would need another 10 million Euros.
