#RESPECT to them all.

But where is our own 'Dodo Mayana'?!

The indomie generation will not know this name tho.....

The list is incomplete without him

He was one of the best in his era!


True that!
Another Great Keeper from Africa.

Infact , this is a rubbish list!

OP, don't be lazy with your research next time.
Peace out!

Grobelaar or however the name is spelt achieved nothing with Zimbabwe hence to me is not an African legend.

The number of caps though.. Is it plus training?

Where is Wilfred agbonibasket

Badou Zaki of Morocco of Mexico 86 fame, Edward Ansah of Ghana, Thomas Nkono of Cameroun, Ahmed Shoubeir of Egypt, Peter Rufai of Nigeria, Emmanuel Okala of Nigeria are Africa's goalkeeping legends before the ones named in the article.

... Enyeama could have been the best.. But he allowed pride to get best of him

What of Murphy Akanji? . Run out of thread . That guy is comedian

cheapgoals:
Goalkeepers are the last line of defense, they orchestrate play from the back and save their teams from conceding whenever possible.

African countries in the past have produced top-class goalkeeper over the past couple of years and as a matter of fact, become role models to European goalkeepers who made them their source of inspiration.

Although the number of African goalkeepers plying their trade in Europe can be counted on the tip of fingers due to competition and lack of opportunities, some paid their dues in the past and broke new grounds for the present generation and fortunately, some of them are still active.

In this write up we take a look at the top 5 African goalkeeping legends in no particular order.


Carlos Kameni (425 Caps)

Country: Cameroon



Although Cameroon may possess a whole lot of goalkeeping legends, Carlos Kameni managed to register his name on the already long list of top goalkeepers to have come out of the Central African country.

Kameni took a tight grip on the number one shirt of the Cameroon national team debuting at the age of 19 and he appeared for the Indomitable Lions in over 70 appearances and made his name in Spanish La Liga where he played for Espanyol and Malaga before he went to Fenerbache.

He featured at three FIFA World Cups and six African Cup of Nations winning the title in 2002 and also runners up finish at the 2003 Confederations Cup after a Gold medal win at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.


Vincent Enyeama ( 607 Caps)

Country: Nigeria



Recently, Vincent Enyeama insinuated his legendary status by stating he conquered Africa during his playing career and rightly so he did at the club level and on the national team level.

He won the CAF Champions League trophy twice with Enyimba international of Aba in 2003 and 2004 before he took his trade to Europe. He also won the Africa Cup of Nations with the Super Eagles in 2013 after several third-place finishes.

Also, he is known for his goal-scoring trait scoring ten goals at Enyimba and nine for Hapoel Tel Aviv including a couple in their UEFA Champions League sojourn.

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa shot him to world prominence after a spectacular performance against Lionel Messi and Argentina. He also holds the second position on the list of the longest clean sheet record in the French League after going on 11,062 minutes without conceding, a total of 11 games consecutively.

Thomas Nkono ( 637 caps )

Country: Cameroon



N’Kono appeared for the Cameroon national team in three World Cups, and four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments winning the trophy in 1984. The goalkeeper was known for acrobatic saves, the high speed which made him appreciated.

He had over three hundred appearances for Espanyol in over a decade and over 500 in his club career that included Canon Yaounde where he won two CAF Champions League and his last club in Club Bolivia, also had over 100 appearances for the national team.

Nkono became a source of inspiration for the young and upcoming goalkeeper, he returned to his main club as a goalkeeping coach, helping develop young talent and countryman Carlos Kameni.

Gianluigi Buffon once said he decided to be a goalkeeper after seeing N’Kono’s performances at the 1990 World Cup. In addition, he named his first son Louis Thomas in the Cameroonian’s honor.


Essam El Hadary ( 1028 Caps)

Country: Egypt



Looking for one of Africa’s most decorated goalkeepers, Essam El-Hadary is definitely on top of the pile. The Egyptian legend was part of the Egyptian generation of players that won 3 back to back Africa Cup of Nation titles from 2006 to 2010, winning four in total and another final appearance in 2017 in Gabon.

He also featured at the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa, his only appearance for any European club was with Sion in Switzerland but he won several titles with his club Al-Ahly of Egypt including 8 Egyptian league titles, Four Egyptian cups, four super cups, and Four CAF Champions League titles.

In 2018 when Egypt qualified for its first FIFA World Cup in a long time, Essam broke the record for the oldest goalkeeper and player to play in the FIFA World Cup after coming on for a group game in Russia 2018 at the age of 45years, beating the record set by Colombian goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón in the previous edition of the tournament. He is also the third player on Egypt’s all-time appearance record. He is still active playing for Nogoom in the Egyptian League where he has 3 appearances this season.


Joseph Antoine Belle (366 Caps)

Cameroon



Another Cameroonian who is well respected for his Goalkeeping skills, Bell had a respectable club career with several foreign club sides including Bordeaux, Saint Etienne, Marseille amongst others making over 300 appearances

He played for Cameroon making 91 appearances and also played at the 1984 Summer Olympics and was on Cameroon’s winning team in the 1984 and 1988 African Cup of Nations although he was behind Nkono for a long time making the trip to the FIFA World Cup three times before making his debut in 1994 playing two group games.

Other names that are worth mentioning are Acquis Songo’o who had close to hundred caps for the Indomitable Lions and played and won the La Liga with Deportivo La Coruna before moving to Metz. Peter Rufai also had a respectable career with the Nigerian national team.

apart from national team wetin rufai do... the only name in this five rufai can drag space with is Antoine bell...the others have earned the right as great keepers

Teewhy2:
Op, Your list is not complete without Keeper (peter) Rufai { Dodo mayana }, if he is at the goal post during his days, you are a bit secured that the post is safe.
Rufai’s European career spanned through Lokeren of Belgium (1987-1991), Beveren also of Belgium (1991-1993), Go Ahead Eagles of Holland (1993-1994), Farense of Portugal (1994-1997), Hercules of Holland (1997) and Deportivo La Coruna of Spain (1997-1999) before he retired at Gil Vicente in 2000.
He played in the Super eagles for 2 decades.

also another legend keeper is Alain Gouaméné of Côte d'Ivoire (1994) , even the legendary Rashidi yekini respected him though he finally scored against him after the had a bet he won't score against him.
He played for these clubs de l'ASEC d'Abidjan ( Côte d'Ivoire ) , du Raja Casablanca ( Maroc ) , d'Angers ( France), Lorient ( France) et de Toulouse ( France), and also participated in 7 african cup of nations

only Antoine bell na im rufai fit rival there... the others worth the accolades... no use sentiment de look things... enyeama,nkono,el hadary, kameni should be rated higher than rufai...

Dbeautyy:
Pls you all complaining about Peter Rufai, read again and this time pls focus on the second to the last line.

djoe21:


It's like the person that compiled this list is from Cameroon. Where is Bruce Grobelaar? He should be no 1 on that list.

because he played for Liverpool...you forget these five keepers played for club and country..tell me grobella exploit with Zimbabwe...

OGHENAOGIE:
apart from national team wetin rufai do... the only name in this five rufai can drag space with is Antoine bell...the others have earned the right as great keepers

It seems you were born yesterday...Why not use Google to search for the name "Peter Rufai"...

Some of these bloggers publish arrant nonsense....Edward Ansah, Jacques Zongo'o, Peter Rufai, etc are African goalkeeping legends whose names aren't on this list.

Peter Rufai And Bruce Grobbelaar deserve an honourable mention at least.

Op is from Cameroon

Your caps come dey fear me before o,and where is peter rufai,he was a far better keeper than vincent enyeama,even alloy agu and agbono basket keep pass enyeama sef,the only keeper that would have been better than rufai would have been joseph dosu,if not for that unfortunate accident,may we not befall unfortunate accidents in life im JESUS name................AMEN.
