Top 10 Goalscoring Goalkeepers In Football History by djayflex: 1:29pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
Goals scored by goalkeepers are a somewhat rare event in football. Goalkeepers spend the majority of a match in their boxes, a marked area around the goal they are defending in which they can handle the ball, in order to defend their goal. It is highly unusual for a goalkeeper to move far beyond this area and join an attack, as this leaves the defence vulnerable to long-distance attempts until the goalkeeper can return to defend it. The most prolific goalkeepers are those who take penalties or free kicks. Other occasions where goalkeepers sometimes score include set pieces where a goalkeeper joins an attack as a team is chasing a goal in order to prevent a defeat, or from goal kicks or otherwise regular clearances which travel the length of the pitch into the opposite goal. Now let’s take a look at top 10 goalkeepers who ever scored either for their national teams or their clubs in their football career. 10.
