The 2010/11 season was when Joe Hart truly began to lay claim to the title of one of the best goalkeepers in the world, keeping 18 clean sheets as he won the Golden Glove award. He then went to win another Golden Glove the next year as City tasted top-flight success for the first time in 44 years.
While he seems to have been unfairly cast away by Guardiola, his time at City saw him win 2 league titles, 2 league cups and an FA Cup.
He made many match-winning saves in his tenure at the Manchester club, but the most incredible one will have been his save against Wayne Rooney’s shot during a Premier League encounter with arch-rivals, United in 2008. United were leading through a Rooney goal, but with Ronaldo having been sent off, City were pushing for an equaliser.
Having gone up for a corner, Van der Sar’s save saw the ball ricocheting in and around the box before a mistake gifted the ball to Giggs, who played it into Rooney’s feet. Hart furiously sprinted across the pitch to somehow keep Wazza’s audacious lob out of the net, with the save getting even more incredible the more times you watch it.
