Peter Shilton was one of the greatest English keepers ever and one of the longest lasting players. He played for Leicester City, Stoke City, Southampton and Derby County. With Forest he won one English League title and two consecutive European Cup. He had great reflexes and amazing positioning, a big personality to command the defense and was great in 1-on-1 situations. With English national team he collected 125 caps (record) and played in three World Cups and two European Championships but is sadly remembered for the famous goal by Maradona (the hand of God) in Mexico 86.
