Can't spell it....but it has to be Schumakker....he is the only goal keeper in world cup history that intentionally almost decapitated an opposing player and sent them to the hospital in a coma for weeks!!! It was terrible...and he went out of his way to hit the player after receiving the ball. (At least he visited the player once before leaving the country)

Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon (born January 28, 1978 in Carrara, Italy) is an Italian football player. He is a goalkeeper for Juventus and the Italian national team, and is generally regarded as one of, if not the best keeper in the world.
soccer_mind ; please just answer the friggen question and don't give us the whole history of soccer for every question you answer..don't think you know it all!! Buffon is the best and most famous..
