It's fair to say Peter Shilton's opinion tends to be listened to where goalkeeping is concerned. 

He holds England's appearances record with 125, he also holds the current all-time record for the most competitive appearances in world football, not to mention that the IFFHS ranked the Nottingham Forest legend among the top ten keepers of the 20th century.

There's a few obvious inclusions such as Peter Schmeichel and David 'Safe-Hands' Seaman, but there was one fairly glaring absence; Man United's David de Gea.
