Book
The goalkeepers of football form their own species. The lonely men between the posts have always included striking figures - from "Fatty" Foulkes, who guarded the English goal a hundred years ago with a body weight of 178 kilos, to Oliver Kahn, the "Vul-Kahn" in the goal of the German national team.
Christoph Bausenwein has written an anecdotal cultural history of the goalkeepers, which begins with the invention of the goal and lets all the greats who carried the No. 1 on the football fields of the world pass by. Among them he found heroes as well as losers, strategists and fools, gamblers and pedants, rulers and servants. His book is a loving and intelligent homage to all these "last men".
With many photos and a lexicon of the hundred best goalkeepers of all times
