Luis Arconada
"Nothing happens, we have to Arconada ". This mythical phrase was common among boys in the early 80, Miguel Arconada that was Luis best goalkeeper in Spain and one of the best in Europe.
It was three times during that decade Zamora and got to show as many records as many or more games unbeaten internacionalidades. his moon It was the error in the final of Euro 1984 against France.

The Spaniards won by one goal to nil to the Soviet Union. In 1970 Zamora won the trophy.
Santiago Canizares
It is one of the best goalkeepers has given the history of Spain. Cañete was a spectacular goalkeeper who perhaps did not reach the impact deserved. I still had an impressive career. Winner of four trophies Zamora, Porter was the best time in the history of Valencia, winning many titles, but perhaps not with Spain had deserved impact.
Juan Carlos Ablanedo
It is certainly one of the forgotten Spanish football. The cat as he was called, was three times Zamora trophy and one of the best goalkeepers in the late 80's and early 90's.Quizás their lack of impact on the Spanish team played against. Even so, was mundialista in Mexico 86 and Italy 90, although it came as third goalkeeper. Juan Carlos Ablanedo He was a short goalkeeper but with spectacular agility. Undoubtedly one of the best Spanish goalkeepers.
Paco Buyo
One of the most spectacular doormen who has given Spain. Nimble and quick, Paco Buyo He wasn't very tall to be a goalkeeper either, but he was capable of reaching unthinkable balls.. He had a long career, which she led him to play almost forty. International during the 80's, not what it was when it was at its best. It was not liked by Javier Clemente, with which also maintained a controversial sours. One of the best Spanish goalkeepers in the League.
Jose Molina
Valencia goalkeeper emerged from the quarry of Valencia although he never got to play in the first team. He was on loan at Albacete and it was not until his arrival at Atletico Madrid when he reached the glory. In the whole mattress he had a glorious stage winning the Zamora and the doublet. Then he went to Deportivo where he had another triumphant stage and suffered the biggest setback of his life when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which he fortunately overcame.. He returned to play football and finished his career in Valencia but in the ranks of Levante
International with Spain, I get to debut as a winger in a friendly match against the lack of effective almost scoring a goal. Then he had a history going summoned or less Euro 2000 where a blunder in the first game against Norway relegated him to the substitute. Certainly one of the best goalkeepers has given this country
Andoni Zubizarreta
Was 126 caps, He played four World from 1986 until 1994 and was the goalkeeper Barcelona by Johan Cruyff. It was a goalkeeper with a right style, He not excelled at anything in particular but not jarred except in penalty shots, where they rarely stop any.
The truth is that last years of his career were not good and many of their caps they should be Javier Clemente that he continued to insist that despite his form was not the most optimal for a player of that level. It cost him finish his career in the worst possible way. By numbers and data, is undoubtedly one of the best spanish goalkeepers in history.
Paco Liaño
CAt the time, he achieved the record for the best Zamora in history. In 1994, He conceded 18 goals in 38 parties with an average of 0,47 by party, or an average of one meeting. It was that Depor goalkeeper who was on the verge of winning the league at that meeting Djukic penalty. Despite this, Depor won the Cup and Super Cup 1995. At the individual level, won 2 Zamoras in First and Second one in Sestao.
Despite all this, He never was summoned with the Spanish team because at its best, Clemente decided that a Zubizarreta was far from being the best goalkeeper in Spain, It must be the owner and even in his best season, It did not take him to the World 1994 where he summoned himself Zubizarreta, a Lopetegui already Santi Canizares.
