Football's 5 greatest goalscoring goalkeepers

2) Jose Luis Chilavert (62 goals)

Chilavert is probably the most famous goalscoring goalkeeper of all-time, having scored multiple times for his national side Paraguay as well as Argentine club Velez Sarsfield.

He was the Paraguayan captain for the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, scoring eight goals for the national team including a crucial winner in a 2-1 win over Argentina in a ’98 WC qualifier. That’s more goals that Emile Heskey (62 appearances) or John Terry (78 appearances) have scored for England.

Chilavert is also still the only goalkeeper to have scored a hattrick, having notched up three goals during a game in 1999.
