Whether Lew Jaschin or Dino Zoff, Toni Turek or Oliver Kahn - it was often the goalkeepers who played a decisive role in the dramas of World Cup history. Their catching skills and their unmistakable personality were deeply engraved in the collective memory of football fans. The book portrays in detail the 86 most important goalkeepers since the World Cup premiere in 1930, including 14 German, six Austrian and three Swiss keepers. The author describes their sporting careers as well as their - sometimes tragic - lives. For example, that of Colombian player René Higuita, who was once praised as a pioneer of modern goalkeeping and later ended up in prison for participating in a kidnapping. In addition, there are 250 short biographies of all goalkeepers ever used in a World Cup tournament.
