World Cup winning keepers

I can't recall any team winning the world cup without a top class keeper. If we persist with Pickford we will be eliminated at some point.
When I was a lad we had some of the best keepers in the world playing in the then Div 1. I can think of several Pool keepers in my lifetime who were streets ahead of Pickford.
 
Hart was great for us but not the same keeper as he is now. No concentration for one thing. Billy big boots maybe?

I agree with Bear. I can remember the Brazil team in the 70s had a terrible keeper but don't remember his name
 
Had forgotten Hart. Was thinking of Waiters, West, Burridge, Wood and maybe Gilks. Felix was Brazil's 1970 keeper...very agile but hardly ever needed.
 
Steve Banks too. We have been blessed with good keepers which was why Allslop was so rightly disparaged.
 
Clearly Bob you were too young to see Waiters in his pomp and West? Budgie was a great keeper and a fantastic character.
