The Spain legend, now 41, is regarded as one of the greatest shotstoppers of his generation.

However, he was forced to retire in 2020 – months after suffering a heart attack during a training session in 2019.
But clearly Casillas has kept his eye on the game – and was able to rattle off his top five list with ease.
Only one star on our shores was considered though, with three LaLiga keepers mentioned.
Speaking to 433, Casillas named Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois as his No1.
In second place came Man City’s Brazilian goalie Ederson, who was the Premier League’s only representative.
Atletico Madrid’s Slovenian international Jan Oblak came in third spot.
Barcelona star Marc-André ter Stegen was fourth, according to Casillas.
While, German legend Manuel Neuer made up the top five.
Casillas appeared 725 times for Real Madrid during a storied career.
During his time with Los Blancos, he won five LaLiga titles, the Copa del Rey twice, three Champions Leagues, and plenty more.
He spent his latter years in Portugal with Porto, where he won the Primeira Liga in 2017-18.
Most famously, he captained Spain to their World Cup triumph in 2010.
