BEST GOALKEEPER 2008-2009


Before we get to that lets pay tribute to the man who won best defender of the season. The results were as follows:

1st - N.Vidic (Man Utd) -58%
2nd - J. Bosingwa (Chelsea) -16%
3rd - J. Carragher (Liverpool) -8%( was a 3 wat tie with Jagielka and Terry but he win in regardsActim index ratings)

Kudos to Vidic. The most clear cut winner thus far. Now back to our next Soccercrazee award.. And the nominees for best GK areeee??


1) Edwin Van Der Sar (Man Utd) - The man who broke all longstanding goalkeeping records this season. Having his time of his life to be frank. After that 16 game clean sheet run and his brilliant penalty shootout records stemming from last season's champions league final and this season's charity shield. The man is on cloud 9. Vidic and Ferdinand should also take credit for this nomination and it is also to be noted that he played way less than the other nominees.

2) Jose 'pepe' Reina (Liverpool) - Not only ahs he played in all of Liverpools BPL games this season but he has gotten many clean sheets. Plus he has actually recordded ASISSTS!! against Man Utd most notably but his distribution is what makes him so good and he is a safe pair of hands as well. Rarely gets a foot wrong. One of Benitez's best signings.




3) Mark Schwarzer (Fulham) - A remarkable keeper for Fulham this season. The 36 year old has been Fulham's best business in the transfer market. Their high position and home domination is credit to him and his fine string of saves. He has saved more shots than any keeper in the Barclays Premier League and stands guard at the Fulham goal like a beast protecting his master in a castle.


4) Tim Howard (Everton) - They call him Mr. Tourettes but this boy has defied all logic. Diagnosed with the disease that makes you do funny things at awkward moments. He doesn do that too much it seems. He has had blips that Moyes has ignored but a boy so good at his job and makes acrobatic saves week in week out for the Toffees. An inspiration to people diagnosed with the disease this man is a worthy ambassador of both the people suffering from the disease and Everton football club. Europe is where he belongs.


5) Robert Green (West Ham) - Not the most impressive of goalkeepers but he gets the job done. Has cemented the goalkeeping position in West ham sending players like Ex Man Utd Gk Caroll into taking drugs. Safe hands. Reliable. I tend to wonder why he hasnt been called up to the England first team more often. Sooner rather than later ay Robert?


6) Petr Cech (Chelsea) - Another good season for Chelsea and the team with the best defensive record in the league can thank this boy for it.Many have said he has become a different player after a clash with a Reading player a couple of seasons back. Well I just do not see it. Headgear in tact on his day this boy can give you a migraine if you happen to be a centreforward. A jigaw puzzle with very little gaps to squeeze and impossible to solve.


7) Manuel Almunia (Arsenal) - Jens Lehmann might not enjoy this nomination but we at Soccercrazee disagree. Arsenal's fine goalkeeper and a good upperstudy to the young Fabianski.Well Arsenal fans wouldnt really appreciate Fabianski once rated Poland's top talent but he has big shoes to fill. This man has made fine saves in his day and like Robert Green is a Mr. Reliable. Will not let you down. Consistent and everready. Arsenal appreciate him and his maturity
