#3 Petr Cech - 365 clean sheets
Arguably the greatest goalkeeper of the Premier League era, Petr Cech was a standout performer in Jose Mourinho's defensively formidable Chelsea side. He helped the Blues win one UEFA Champions League title, four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and one UEFA Europa League.
Cech holds the record for being the fastest player to keep 100 clean sheets in the Premier League, achieving the feat in 180 appearances. The Czechoslovakian international is one of the most well-rounded goalkeepers of the modern era.
Cech is tall, athletic, brave and is renowned for his shot-stopping abilities. He is also excellent at kickstarting attacks with his long goal kicks and throw-outs helping his sides break on the counter swiftly. He has kept 365 clean sheets in the 21st century.
#2 Iker Casillas - 365 clean sheets
Popularly known as 'San Iker' for his ability to make incredible saves, Iker Casillas is a modern day legend who has won the lot with club and country. The Spanish international spent the majority of his career with Real Madrid and also has the record of keeping the most clean sheets in the UEFA Champions League.
Casillas is unlike the modern archetypal goalkeeper, standing at 182 cms. However, he more than makes up for it with his reflexes and athleticism. He has represented Spain at four World Cups and played a starring role as La Roja were crowned world champions in 2010.
The Real Madrid legend's acrobatics, footwork, concentration and speed make him a unique proposition between the sticks. Casillas had kept 365 clean sheets in the 21st century by the time he decided to call it a day on his professional football career in August 2020.
#1 Gianluigi Buffon - 409 cleansheets
43-year-old Gianluigi Buffon is still going strong at the age of 43. He recently returned to Parma, where his career began in 1995. Buffon is yet another goalkeeper who is considered to be one of the greatest to have guarded the net in the history of the game.
Buffon holds the record for the longest time spent without conceding a goal in Serie A history. He kept the opposition out for 974 minutes over the course of 12 matches.
Buffon has won the Scudetto 10 times in his career. He won the FIFA World Cup with Italy in 2006 and has finished runner up in the UEFA Champions League on three occasions. Buffon's longevity is incredible and he has been cited by many modern goalkeepers as their role model.
He has produced unbelievable saves throughout his career. His leadership ability is a key component of his game and is one of the greatest shot-stoppers in the history of the game.
