The 10 World's best Goalkeeper of the 1st Decade of The 21st Century Based on IFFHS

The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) released a ranking of best Goal Keepers and Referee for the first decade of the new 21st Century. By taking each year‘s vote as representing 10 % of the value for the decade. Each year many different jurors (countries) have taken part in the vote and, in the early years the jurors voted for the top three places (3 points to 1 point), and only later for the top four places (4 points to 1 point). So it would not be possible to simply add the points awarded in the annual votes.

The IFFHS has devised an equitable method for determining The World‘s best Goalkeeper and Referee of the 1st Decade of the 21st Century. From the annual ranking of the goalkeepers and referees (as a result of the world vote) the IFFHS will take into consideration the “Top 20″ for each year and allocate points to each place. So the first-placed receives 20 points, the second-placed 19 points, the third-placed 18 points … and a point for twentieth place. If the annual world ranking comprises more than 20 goalkeepers and referees each, then the goalkeepers and referees from 21st place onwards receive no points. If the annual world ranking comprises fewer than 20 goalkeepers (based on the fixed rules), no points will be awarded for the unoccupied places. Adding the points from the individual years provides a world ranking for the period 2001-2010.
