[@Mark-uh3un]

Look at his childhood. To go through a war, working at a factory, worrying every day that the nazis will push through and invade Moscow, making weapons as a 12 year old. Then quitting the sport altogether due to a nervous breakdown, eventually making it to Dynamo just to warm the bench for several years. He even won the Soviet hockey league which is mindblowing considering how good they were at hockey. And despite all that, being voted as the best voted european goalkeeper 9 times, winning the Olympics and the European Championship, and eventually winning the Ballon D'or. Obviously he's the greatest goalkeeper of all time and one of the most underrated players in history.

He spoke about Lev as if he had supernatural abilities, diving through the air totally horizontal catching a bladder with one hand (if you know what a bladder is then you'll know how tough and heavy those balls were). Lev Yashin is a legend of the beautiful game, always first on any World select team sheet, and a pioneer of modern Goalkeeping. Great video bro, it would be nice to see more videos of bygone heroes of Football. If i could suggest just one player i'd like to see a video of Garrinsha who played in the same Brazil team as the great man Pelé.

There’s no doubt Yashin changed the scope of goalkeeping. Perhaps no other footballer has changed the game as much as he did. His athleticism with his diving saves, rapid reactions, sweeper keeper role, punching and quick release of the ball to launch attacks and the vocal role he played in organizing his team were all innovations now taken for granted, though few of even the best contemporary goalkeepers possess all these skills. But there was also his courage as one can witness in the many instances in this footage where one sees him diving at a striker’s feet. He was brave, intelligent and humble, a great example.

It wasn't his acrobatics, LY's strength was fearlessness: his ability to go for the ball even though he risked a kick in ribs or even the face!"

[@peteryang8708]

Lev Yashin was not only best goalkeeper ever, he was also a true gentleman. A real sportsman. Full of decorum. Even when his team lost, he went round shaking hands with all officials and those from the winning team.

[@DCHTOWN1]

Love this, one of the most underrated players in history because he’s a goalkeeper. Really all I knew about him was that he was part of the fifa team of the century & the only goalie to win a ballon d oro until now. I’m happy to learn more about this man & hope to see more goalkeeper based videos!!

[@marckradolfer6007]

For me at age 66 and having seen some great goal keepers during my days, there are three that really stick out: Gordon Banks, Lev Yashin and Rinat Dasaev. There were other greats like Ladislao Mazurchievicz , Amadeo Carrizo, Oliver Kahn, Seep Maier, etc.

[@dr.socrates1426]

Very good choice. Mazurkiewicz is nearly forgotten but in my opinion one of the best goalkeepers. But don't forget Ronny Hellström

[@sleepingforest8214]

His track down speed on apposing players and break always was insane. All he need was 4 steps covering so much ground so fast , dam what stud.

Lav introduced modern way of goal keeping . further more in era when goal scoring was simple and often he was almost unbeatable on goal post. in todays standards i dont think people can even imagine how good he was. try to put 5 top goal keepers in one individual and you get Lav Yashin.. if your lucky :)

[@djsimonrossprice9400]

Superb video my friend. As a goalkeeper myself for over 20 years its its without doubt the hardest position. I knew about him being 63 now, i saw him on tv in the 60s as a kid But NEVER realised that in the season he won the BD he only let in 7 goals... That my friend will NEVER EVER BE BEATEN.

Like now days we say who is better cortois , Allison , de gea are best goal keeper but they have cut to cut competition sometimes cortois win sometime Allison sometime de gea but yashin was winning each and every fuckin time he was not being compared as he was on some other level Even THOUGH HE WAS NOT TRAINED AS MUCH .
