Goalkeeper Performances



Northern Ireland has long been famed for the quality of goalkeepers that they have had at their disposal. From Breen and Scott in the 1930s through Gregg & Uprichard in the '50s and Jennings, McFaul & Platt in the '70s to Wright, Carroll & Taylor over the past few decades, there have been many greats between the sticks at Windsor Park...

The following is a table comparing the relative performances of every goalkeeper to be capped by the Irish FA.
