A goal scored by a goalkeeper is a rarity in football, since their immediate task is to guard their gates, and not go to someone else's penalty area.
However, some goalkeepers, in addition to beating the ball, also train penalties and penalties, and as a result they begin to execute them better than field players.
Thanks to this, they manage to score dozens of goals per season, and someone even manages to make a hat-trick.
10. Marco Ballotta
This Italian spent his entire career in Serie A, where he managed to play for more than 10 teams.
Speaking at a professional level even at the age of 43 (at that age he went on the field in the Champions League match, becoming the oldest player in the history of the tournament), Ballotta managed to score 30 goals.
It is noteworthy that the player did not want to hang up his boots on a nail, so even at the age of 50 he played in the 8th strength division of Italy, and the funny thing is - he played in the forward position.
9. Misael Alfaro
This gate guard from El Salvador managed to score 31 goals in his career, with only 11 of them from the penalty spot. He managed to score the remaining goals from the game, realizing free kicks and helping the team in the corners.
He did not play outside his native championship and is unknown to the general public, but he is known and loved in his homeland.
8. Hans-Jörg Butt
The German can definitely be called an unlucky person: he played three times in the Champions League final, but each time his team turned out to be weaker and he never received gold medals.
Although Butt himself did everything in his power, and even more: he scored 32 goals in total, 26 of which in the Bundesliga. This makes him the most productive goalkeeper in the history of the championship and this record will probably last a long time.
He also scored 3 goals in the Champions League, being a full-time penalty shooter, even in Munich “Bavaria”, for which he played 4 seasons.
7. Marcio
Goalkeeper with the traditionally long Brazilian name Marcio Luis Silva Lopez Santos Soza scored 39 goals, but since he has not yet completed his career, he can improve his performance.
He played for clubs such as Goiás and Atletico Goianiense, which are quite well-known in Brazil, although they are not drawn to the title of grand.
6. Johnny Vegas Fernandez
The Peruvian also did not leave the limits of his native championship, replacing more than 10 teams in his career. Debuting at a professional level in 1997, Johnny played for 20 years, hanging boots on a nail only in 2017.
For two decades, he managed to “beat” 39 goals, becoming a true legend in his homeland. His fans love him even despite the fact that he was not devoted to one club, but changed them like gloves.
5. Rene Igita
This goalkeeper received the nickname Madman, which fully reflected his playing style. It's not even that he scored 41 goals, but how recklessly he sometimes played.
It was not enough for him that he executed all penalties and free kicks from positions convenient for himself, and he constantly left the limits of his penalty area. Going for a stroke for him is a common thing, and he was not afraid to fint, even surrounded by 3 players rivals.
We must not forget his legendary “scorpion kick”, performed by him not in a match against any outsider, but in a game with the England team, which in 1995 had a very strong squad.
4. Dmitry Ivankov
The Bulgarian goalkeeper beat Igita just 1 goal and scored 42, although he didn’t do it so spectacularly. Ivankov did not take risks and did not fint, tried not to leave his penalty box unless absolutely necessary, and scored all goals from the penalty spot, which he was able to perform better than the field players.
It was his restraint that coaches and fans always appreciated, because despite his love to score, he always first of all thought about the main duty - to protect his own goal.
During his career, he changed only a few teams: first he played in his native Levski, in 2005 he moved to Turkish Kayserispor, three years later to Bursaspor, and in 2011 he went to play in the championship of Cyprus.
3. Jorge Campos
This Mexican, in addition to his native championship, managed to play MLS for the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chicago Fire, scoring only 46 goals.
Despite such impressive performance, it was not she who was impressed in the first place in Campos, but his manner of playing and physical data.
His height is only 168 centimeters, which is not just small for the goalkeeper, but disastrously small. Nevertheless, due to his dexterity and “jumping”, Jorge sometimes managed to pull out balls that not every high goalkeeper could get.
Another unusual fact is that he often played in attack. He could start the match in the framework of the goal, and in the end go to the forward position (the coach let out another goalkeeper who took the place of Campos).
Having played 10 years for the Mexican national team, Campos was well remembered by all the fans thanks to his colorful goalkeeper uniform: he preferred to independently develop its design, each time creating something colorful, lurid, but attracting attention and causing a smile.
2. Jose Luis Chilavert
The Paraguayan scored 67 goals from penalties and penalties, which he played wherever he played. He played for the Spanish Real Zaragoza and the French Strasbourg, but spent most of his career in Argentina.
Despite the fact that he is no longer the most successful goalkeeper in the history of football, he still holds a record for performance at the national level: he scored 9 goals for Paraguay.
Chilavert also remains the only goalkeeper to score a hat-trick: in November 1999, playing for Veles Sarsfield, he scored 3 penalties for Ferrocaril Oeste.
1. Rogerio Cenis
To score 132 goals in a career is far from the worst indicator for the average striker, and for the goalkeeper this performance seems somewhat transcendent. Nevertheless, Rogerio Ceni did this: 69 goals from the penalty spot, 61 from the penalty, and 2 from the game.
Despite the fact that he didn’t really win anything at the club level as part of São Paulo, he has gold medals in the Confederations Cup 1997 and the World Cup 2002.
He spent only 17 matches for the national team, as the competition was too high, but for his native club he became a legend, having spent his entire career in it and constantly refusing more advantageous offers.
