After Liverpool’s Alisson and Roma’s Robin Olsen were both left with egg on their faces this weekend, we’ve been thinking about some of the most high-profile goalkeeping blunders in the history of the game.

Here are 10 of the very worst.

10. Massimo Taibi

Taibi joined Manchester United from Venezia in 1999 but this horrific error against Southampton meant he only ever made four appearances for the Red Devils before he was sent packing back to Italy.

9. Andoni Zubizarreta

This monumental rick from Spain goalkeeper Zubizarreta in 1998 is one of the biggest goalkeeping errors in World Cup history.

8. Loris Karius

The former Liverpool goalkeeper will probably be haunted by his two errors in the 2018 Champions League final for the rest of his life.

7. Luis Arconada

There aren’t many players whose names have become synonymous with a specific type of goal. Panenka is one and Arconada is another, although the former Spain goalkeeper will be forever remembered for all the wrong reasons.

6. Jens Lehmann

The eccentric former German goalkeeper is remembered for all kinds of reasons, but Borussia Dortmund’s fans will never forget this catastrophe.

5. Mauro Goicoechea

Roma’s former Uruguayan goalkeeper Goicoechea must have aroused all kinds of suspicion with this very deliberate looking own goal.

4. Peter Enckelman

Aston Villa’s former Finnish goalkeeper Enckelman never truly recovered from this brain-fart in a derby match against Birmingham City.

3. Fabien Barthez

The French World Cup winner developed an unwanted reputation as being a bit of a clown during his time at Manchester United, and this clip is a pretty good example of why that was.

2. Gianluigi Buffon

Even the very best of us have the occasional off day, and Gigi is no exception.

1. Martin Hansen

Long before Karius, Liverpool had a Danish goalie on their books by the name of Hansen. He never made a single first-team appearance, and you’re about to see why.
