Lev Yashin

Lev Yashin, the 'Black Spider', is the only goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or (1963) and the greatest goalkeeper in football history according to FIFA. Born in Moscow, his performances for Dynamo Moscow and the Soviet national team revolutionized the goalkeeper position. It is estimated that Yashin saved over 150 penalties throughout his career and played more than 270 matches without conceding a goal. His all-black uniform and his proactive playing style made him an absolute legend.
