Sportskeeda Football Awards 2014: Goalkeepers of the Year

It’s a thankless job, being a goalkeeper. Keep a clean sheet and the defense takes the plaudits. Make one mistake and you are guaranteed to be reminded of it every day. For a position that is supposed to be the most important on the pitch, goalkeepers rarely get their due credit.

#10 Samir Handanovic

Team/s: Inter Milan and Slovenia

Appearances: 52

Honours: N/A

A reliable presence in the Inter Milan rearguard, Samir Handanovic’s performances for the Nerazzuri have slipped under the radar owing to the Italian giants’ poor performances in the last three years. 

But things could have been worse for Inter had it not been for the heroics of Handanovic, whose saves have saved many a point for the Nerazzuri. If their current plight continues, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Handanovic playing for a bigger team with better fortunes.
