A ridiculously orthodox keeper. Every keeper before that who was "great" achieved it by being a bit erratic, a bit eccentric. Seaman was just ridiculously consistent but still had all the top drawer athleticism to pull off big saves. His willingness to use his body and feet to save shots, particularly up close in one on ones, really made a difference.
His only unorthodox move was to be slightly off his line at the time opting to be a bit further up than some other keepers of his era, I always had confidence with him between the sticks
@@losnamerales3403 Yeah, I think that was a critical part of the Arsenal defensive tactics with the high backline and offside. If your keeper isn't willing or able to come and sweep up then they just end up backpedalling. He wasn't quite sweeper keeper, but was definitely more willing to come to the edge of his area to touch the ball on or claim it.
It's an insane save. The fact that he got enough power behind the ball with his hand to keep it out and actually get it away from the Sheffield player. And he was 39, only a few months from turning 40.

And this is an absolutely brilliant channel for that. Cheers.
best goalkeeper iv seen to date and the best goalkeeper england has had in a long time, he makes his presence known and owns his goal net like it is his life, top bloke
Banks England v Brazil. Seaman Arsenal v Sheffield Udt. 2 of the best saves ever. I watch them over and over and just don't understand how both these keepers saved those shots.
When he was signed for 1.2 million in 1990 replacing the popular John Lukic he had a lot to prove to disgruntled Arsenal fans. Prove it he certainly did making the number 1 Jersey his own in his 13 years. He won four Fa cups, 3 league titles and a cup winners cup medal during his career. He was the greatest Arsenal keeper ever IMHO.
Still don’t understand how he kept that header out against Sheffield Utd. The reach, reactions and somehow still getting the strength to claw it out. Unreal…
I'm brasilian and can safely say that david seaman is one of the greatest keepers of football history, alongside dida, yashin, zoff, buffon, kahn and so on. But that is not all. He also is the keeper with perhaps the most iconic save ever, I can't decide between his save and banks' miracle against pele in mexico 70. Edit: technically higuita's scorpion kick was not an actual save because the play was stopped, but I guess that moment could join the podium. Seaman, banks and higuita, in no particular order.
U r forgetting keepers like Peter schmeichel who was better than seaman no mater how you look at it. Than keepers like casillas, kahn and plenty others. Seaman was indeed the last world class english keeper but italy always had keepers that were equal or better than seaman in the past 30 years. A few italian keepers who were better than seaman are: Francesco Toldo Angello Peruzzi Gianluca Pagliuca Gianluigi Buffon Walter Zenga
@@jaxcoss5790 i mean u can spam hahaha as much as you want but look at what trophies seaman has under his belt than compare with what schmeichel has. Not to mention schmeichel won euro with denmark which england hasnt won in forever. And if u compare the quality of field players is easy to see england had overall better players with a few exceptions. The exceptions included schmeichel. The only reason ud think seaman was better is euther because you are english fanboy or arsenal fanboy otherwise no sane person would say seamn was better. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to see one is a world class keeper one of the best of all times while the other was just a very good english keeper who stood out because england generally had really terrible ones. Compared to the likes of callamity james who came after yeh seaman was godlike. Compared to schmeichel seaman eas garbage
Suggestion for some other great goalkeepers in the future videos; European- Ray Clemence, Chris Woods, Jim Leighton, Andy Goram, Pat "Packie" Bonner, Eric Thorsvedt, Jens Lehmann, Michael Konsel, Ivano Bordon, Gianluca Pagliuca, Angelo Peruzzi, Santiago Canizares, Luis Arconada and Joel Bats. South-Central- North American- Brad Friedel, Jorge Campos, Luis Conejo, Sergio Goycochea, Nelson Dida, Julio Cesar and Oscar Cordoba. African- Jacques Songo'o and Badou Zaki Always good and nostalgic videos as usual from you!
For South Central- North America, were a lot during the 1990s. Jacinto Alvarez, Carlos Truco, Marcelo "El Rambo Ramirez" Fernando Alvez, Robert Dante Siboldi, Carlos Roa etc
@@johnperez3160 Thanx 👍Offcourse big list with a lot great names. There was a lot of other good goalies too from North-South-Central America like Tony Meola, Casey Keller, Oscar Perez, Farid Mondragon, Marcos, Emerson Leao, Nery Pumpido and many more for sure.
Kryzzmeister He has to leave Everton. Pickford is a good Keeper but he is not in the level of Seaman yet. Pickford need to play for a Top Side in Europe
At first he's used *Reusch gloves...* Then he used *Adidas gloves* for a season or two... Later he used *Umbro gloves for a long time...* Finally he used *puma gloves* at the end of his career... Quite interesting because I usually saw a top goalkeeper used at most 3 brands for their whole career...
Who was better : him or Chris Woods ? I like both of them. Honestly, after the 1st time I saw Woods played at Norwich City in around 1984, I found a new favorite GK : he was strong, good shot stopper and had good goal kick. But as Bobby Robson kept putting him at the bench for ageing Peter Shilton, even at WC 90, I never saw him play at major tournament. And then came the emerging David Seaman whom also impressed me; I watched him play at Euro 96 live on TV in the match vs Spain on which he became the hero for England, and became my new favorite GK. I had to forget Chris Woods because of him. However, now I remember him again and watch highlights of his saves as well as goal kick.
Not of the same class as Schmeichel, Kahn or Buffon but, anyway, the most consistent English goalie during the last 30+ years. I think of his successors in the English national team and I'm about to burst into laughter.
Seaman, 39 at the time, had a great tournament overall, best keeper after Kahn and Rustu. That was a lucky freak goal and Ronaldinho was a magician, doesn't mean Seaman was not great. Afterall everybody makes mistakes, watch Kahn in the final of that same World Cup, he made a silly mistake.
Shilton también se mandaba sus cagadas en momentos importantes solo hay que ver el partido clasificatorio contra Polonia en 1973 o contra Alemania en la semifinales de Italia 90
You are joking right? Seaman is 4th in clean sheets ever for the Premier League, with 40,5% ratio. So, only in your imagination he could not keep clean sheets.
@@markitos_zgz6234 yeah i can show you bad moments for any goalkeeper if you want. Cech, Kahn, Schmeichel, De Gea, Casillas etc. Seaman was the reason Arsenal went all the way to the final in that tournament anyway. Learn football first and then we talk ;)
"for one thing and one thing only". Not true. I am much more impressed with the number of his saves (including against Spain at Euro 96) than that those occasionally mistakes. The likes of Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehman did mistakes too.
@@lexsoft3969 Believe me, if there was a survey tomorrow asking the top 3 moments people remember, you and I know what would be on there. 1. Nayim 2. Ronaldinho 3. the save against Sheffield United.
@@Baresi-Unico-Capitano Well, both goals were actually similar on how Nayim and Ronaldinho saw Seaman's position which was too advanced from the goal line, and then took advantage of that situation. I watched the match at WC 2002 live on TV; I saw Seaman's position then which was vulnerable before Ronnie did that thing. Maybe his tendency of moving (a bit) too advanced became one of Seaman's flaw from which smart players could take advantage.

Remember seeing the Sheffield Utd save live in 2003. One of the best saves I've ever seen!

Last top draw Keeper to play for England.
By a country mile !
He was to penalty saves, as Beckham was to free kicks. Always in with a solid chance
The save vs sheff utd .
Greatest save of all time for me .
Even better than banks vs pele
He's all trousers and no mouth. Immense.
back to a time when "seaman's all over the box" meant something else as well.
Such a brave cool character. World Class Keeper👍👍
Amazing work Bro ...Magnífic Goalkeper🙌
