England fans look away now. Despite his role in Frank Lampard's disallowed "ghost goal" at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the German international is widely considered one of the world's best ever keepers.

Perfecting the "sweeper-keeper" role, Neuer is the perfect mold of what a modern-day goalkeeper should be, displacing the great Oliver Kahn for Bayern Munich and the German national side.

Neuer has ticked off almost every major tournament there is, playing a major role in Germany's World Cup victory in 2014, as well being a pivotal figure in Bayern Munich's domination in the German domestic league over the past decade.

He is the first ever German to win the treble of a World Cup, German Cup and Bundesliga in 2012/13.
