It takes a special player to keep Bob Wilson out of this list, but then again, David Seaman was no ordinary mortal. Who can ever forget his last-minute save against Sheffield United in the semifinal of the FA Cup at Old Trafford? If you did, remind yourself of this save that defied all logic:

The safest pair of hands to have ever been in the Arsenal goal, Seaman was not blessed naturally with the reflexes of the best goalkeepers - instead years of practice had produced a technical level so complete that Arsene Wenger described it as 'perfect'.

Seaman ended his career as the second most-capped English goalkeeper in the national team's history, but sadly, will be remembered for being lobbed by Ronaldinho in the World Cup by much of his nation. For Arsenal fans however, Seaman was the rock in goal, as he won three league championships (1991, 1998, 2002), four FA Cups (1993, 1998, 2002, 2003), the League Cup in 1993 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1994.
