When asked to rank the greatest goalkeepers, Neil Etheridge went with:

Manuel Neuer

Gianluigi Buffon

Iker Casillas

Thibaut Courtois

…Himself (as a joke, of course!)

That’s classic Neil—always humble, always full of good vibes. His charisma and happiness are absolutely contagious, whether he’s making incredible saves or just having a laugh. A true leader on and off the pitch!

Now, let’s be real—he’s not in the all-time top 5 of world football, and he knows it. But Neil is still one of the best goalkeepers the Philippines has ever seen. His performances in England, from Cardiff City’s Premier League campaign to his heroics in the Championship, have proven his quality. Quick reflexes, strong presence in the box, and a mentality that never backs down—he’s been an inspiration for Filipino footballers everywhere.
