Goalkeeping Museum

Currently considered the best goalkeeper in the world by many, Gianluigi Buffon also sets standards when it comes to goalkeeping dress.

During the recent European Championship Qualifier against Scotland, played on a particularly cold and wet Glasgow evening, the Italian goalkeeper set a new trend by wearing a woolen hat, and a bench jacket underneath his goalkeeper shirt.

It is often said that “goalkeepers are different” and that one must posses a certain level of eccentricity to be prepared to spend so long trying to do the opposite of every other player on the pitch. Buffon, it seems, is no different!
