#1 Costel Pantilimon

FBL-ENG-PR-LIVERPOOL-WATFORD
Costel Pantilimon

Pantilimon was selected to the Romanian squad that took part in the 2016 European Championship in France although he remained an unused substitute. In total, he has 27 caps for his country since making his senior international debut in 2008.

The Romanian goalkeeper has played a bit-part role for most of his time in the Premier League. He has played for Manchester City where he also received a winner's medal and Watford. He made 210 appearances in 12 seasons across three top-flight clubs.

Sent on loan at Nottingham Forest, Pantilimon is not known for his shot-stopping ability or his reflex saves but rather his height. He stands at a whopping 6 ft 8 (2.03m) so any long ball kicked towards his path becomes easy pickings for the 31-year old.

At 6 ft 8, he stands tall when compared to most players on the planet.
