#1 Most goals by a goalkeeper: Rodrigo Ceni, 132 goals

Palmeiras v Sao Paulo - Brasileirao Series A 2014
A keeper who could score!

Rogerio Ceni, a man who is adored by many in Brazil and most importantly at Sao Paulo for his immense contribution to the club during his service. Ceni holds the record for the most goals ever scored by a goalkeeper in professional football. He scored a total of 132 career goals; 61 being free-kicks, 70 penalties and one coming from open play.

Ceni had a career that spanned 25 years before retiring in 2015. A one-club man, Ceni finished his career raking up a total of 1238 appearances, ahead of Pele. A man knowing for not shying away from any challenge, Ceni stepped up everytime his team needed and given his spot-kick record was a certain game-changer.

During this incredible career, Ceni won almost everything there was to win with o Tricolor, including three consecutive Brazilian titles, four São Paulo state championships, the Copa Libertadores, and a Club World Cup in which he was awarded player of the tournament and man of the match in the final.

His record is another one that is sure to last a long long time in the modern day game.
