Bruce Grobbelaar /// 628 appearances /// 13 major trophies
Unfortunately for Grobbelaar, kids who weren’t around to watch him play in the 80s and 90s, his name incites critical quotes on Mignolet and Liverpool’s goalkeeping coach John Achterberg. Maybe he’s angling for a new job, but, Grobbelaar seems to be living in obscurity in Canada, only to be heard when he can drop some molten hot takes about Liverpool.
But.
In his playing days, 628 games cannot be knocked nor can all the major trophies he won with Liverpool. An acrobatic keeper, he was around for Liverpool’s last dominant run and was their first keeper in the Premier League. He was around for the transition away from the top.
Or his antics in the 1984 European Cup final penalty shootout that Liverpool won. That’s where Dudek got his mojo, so give him an assist for 2005.
