Kasey Keller

Kasey Keller is the unglamorous craftsman of a goalkeeper I love to watch. A four-time World Cup participant and longtime starter for the U.S. national team, his real distinction is being the first American keeper to hold down a regular place across the Bundesliga, Premier League and La Liga. Earning trust in three demanding, stylistically different leagues takes a rare kind of steadiness and nerve. He later turned that authority into a commentary career. I have a soft spot for keepers who simply do the unshowy work at the back, year after year, and Keller is exactly that.
