2. Jacques Songo’o
Cameroonian legend, Jacques Songo’o often lived in the shadow of teammates, Belle and Thomas Nkono at the international level, but he was highly instrumental in aiding Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna in their astonishing La Liga win in the 1996/1997 season, the first time in the club’s history.
He was a solid shot-stopper, and one of those who made very few mistakes, Songo’o was the unrivaled No.1 for the Spanish side for four years, and he won the coveted Ricardo Zamora trophy, an award for the best goalkeeper in the Spanish league.
He remains one of the greatest goalkeepers of the continent.
