Sepp Maier was right when he said, "You need to be insane to do this job willingly." Welcome to issue 74: Goalkeepers.

We've gone through the history books, using a range of tools at our disposal, and spoken to legendary goalkeepers and experts in the role to form our 50 greatest custodians of all time. From goalscoring icons like Rogério Ceni, who bagged a scarcely believable 129 official career goals, to pioneers of the role like Gianpiero Combi and Manuel Neuer, this is the ultimate collection of goalkeepers. 

We've got 50 profiles in total - some long-form, some short, but all utterly fascinating - and a whopping eight double-page infographics inside. You'll find the obvious choices - Buffon, Yashin, Schmeichel - as well as the obscure: Ronnie Hellström, Jürgen Croy and Antoni Ramallets, to name but three.

It's unlike anything else we've produced in both concept and design. Order now before we sell out. Every other issue has sold out before dispatch and won't be back until we reprint in future.

Projected dispatch by 27 February
