David Seaman: England v Brazil, 2002 World Cup quarter-final: "One Flew over Seaman's Head" was a popular Tottenham Hotspur fanzine, penned in celebration of a long-range lob by Nayim, the former Spurs player, against their bitter rivals, in the 1995 European Cup Winners' Cup final. Unfortunately for the Arsenal goalkeeper, that ended up being merely his second most famous blunder, after he allowed Ronaldinho's speculative free-kick to float past him in a quarter-final in 2002.

Loris Karius: Liverpool v Real Madrid, 2018 Champions League final: The German goalkeeper had never convinced in a Liverpool shirt and his shortcomings were ruthlessly exposed in the biggest game of his career. After collecting a ball on the edge of his area, Karius went to throw the ball to a teammate despite Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema clearly blocking his sight. Karius attempted the pass anyway, allowing Benzema to stick out a leg and score into an empty net. More pain was to befall Karius later in the match too. Getty Images
Hugo Lloris: France v Croatia, 2018 World Cup final: There must have been something in the water in 2018 as Hugo Lloris did his best Karius impression on an even bigger stage: the World Cup final. Same scenario: Lloris attempts to roll the ball to a teammate despite the gigantic frame of Mario Mandzukic lurking with dangerous intent. The Croatian striker stuck out a giant limb to embarrass the France captain. Thankfully the error was overlooked as France ran out 4-2 winners. AFP Photo
Loris Karius: Liverpool v Real Madrid, 2018 Champions League final: Liverpool claimed after the match that Karius was suffering the effects of concussion after being clattered by Sergio Ramos in the build up to Madrid’s third goal. A long-range Gareth Bale shot squirmed through Karius’ hands as Liverpool lost 3-1. Karius was in tears at the final whistle and was sent out on a two-year loan to Turkish club Besiktas. He is unlikely to wear a Liverpool jersey in a competitive match again. Getty Images
Iker Casillas: Spain v Netherlands, 2014 World Cup: The reigning champions of the world could not have got off to a worse start to their title defence. Iker Casillas was still considered among the top goalkeepers in the world, having led his country to two European Championships, the 2010 World Cup and countless trophies at Real Madrid. However, with a minute to go before half time against Netherlands in their opening group match in Brazil a Casillas error would see the wheels come off Spain’s World Cup hopes spectacular fashion. A heavy touch from Casillas following a routine back pass allowed Robin van Persie to dispossess the Spain legend and score the first of five Dutch goals in a famous win. AFP Photo
Massimo Taibi: Manchester United v Southampton, 1999/2000 Premier League: Replacing the great Dane Peter Schmeichel following United’s unprecedented triple-winning campaign was always going to be a tall order for any goalkeeper. The Premier League and European champions purchased Taibi for £4.5 million from Venezia but his time in Manchester lasted less than a season with his short stay blighted by high-profile errors. None more so than during a game against Southampton, when the Italian let a tame 25-yard daisy cutter from Matthew Le Tissier squirm under his body and through his legs to leave Taibi red-faced as Saints held out for a 3-3 draw.

Roy Carroll: Manchester United v Tottenham, 2004/05 Premier League: Visiting Spurs fans were left raging at the match officials after they failed to spot what was a goal. A speculative Pedro Mendes strike caused Roy Carroll all sorts of bother, resulting in him fumbling a routine catch. The ball bounced out of his grasp and back towards goal and crossed the line before the United goalkeeper could claw it back into play. If VAR had been around then, perhaps Spurs would have left Old Trafford with a famous win instead of a 0-0 draw. Reuters
Willy Caballero: Argentina v Croatia, 2018 World Cup group: If the modern day goalkeeper is required to be adept with his feet, someone forgot to pass the memo to Willy Caballero. With the game poised at 0-0 the Argentina goalkeeper inexplicably chipped a pass that fell about 20 yards short of its intended teammate. Ante Rebic waited for the ball to come back down before unleashing an unstoppable volley as Croatia went on to win 3-0. Quite what Caballero was thinking is anyone’s guess. Getty Images
Rene Higuita: Colombia v Cameroon, 1990 World Cup: Higuita's eight goals for his country may be more than some established strikers ever manage for their country, but the eccentric keeper cost them a few, too. On one of his famous walkabouts, he coughed up possession to Roger Milla, the old man of Cameroon, who subsequently scored a last-minute winner to knock Colombia out of the 1990 World Cup. Cue one of the World Cup's great celebrations. Getty Images
Mile Svilar: Benfica v Manchester United, 2017/18 Champions League: At 18 years of age Mile Svilar became the youngest goalkeeper to ever play in the Champions League when he lined up against Manchester United at the Estadio Da Luz in October 2017. Unfortunately, the young Belgian showed his age for United’s 1-0 win. Marcus Rashford fired in a free kick from wide on the right, noticing perhaps the teenaged goalkeeper’s penchant for standing too far off his line. Svilar actually caught the ball, but wasn’t on balance and only succeeded in taking it over his own line for the game's sole goal. Getty Images
