What record does Pepe Reina now hold that is better than the likes of Ray Clemence and Bruce Grobbelaar? We can reveal that the Spanish stopper has the best post-war record of clean sheets in his first 100 starts.

Reina, who played his 100th game for Liverpool against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, has kept 55 clean sheets. Clemence kept 51 clean sheets in his first 100 starts for Liverpool, Grobbelaar has 50 while Istanbul hero Jerzy Dudek had 45 shut outs in his first 100 starts.

 

With thanks to Liverpool FC's official statistician Ged Rea here is the clean sheets record for goalkeepers in their first 100 starts for the club since the 1960's for Liverpool.

 

1, Pepe Reina. 55 clean sheets.

 

2. Ray Clemence. 51 clean sheets.

 

3. Bruce Grobbelaar. 50 clean sheets.

 

4. Jerzy Dudek. 45 clean sheets.

 

5. Sander Westerveld. 42 clean sheets.

 

6. David James. 36 clean sheets.

 

7. Tommy Lawrence. 28 clean sheets.

Lots of credit to the players around him as well as Sander and Jambo had much worse in front of them.

 

Still a quality keeper tho

 

 

 

James has an excuse but Hyypia and henchoz were the best centre back pairing in Europe at that time by a country mile.

I had a quick look. Henchoz didn't play the first 8 matches in 1999 when Sander was in goal and he managed only one clean sheet in that time, which fucked his stats up somewhat. The back four was normally Carra Matteo Hyypia Heggem.

Overall I think they are

149 clean sheets in 510 matches with 700 conceded

 

This does include the first world war stats though

teletext decided to go down the route of having no fan input from anyone so that they could concentrate themselves on general pages and include the championship.

 

Means I don't get the page anymore which is a bit of a bummer!

 

 

Stats stuff back - minor technicality but Steve Staunton merely conceded no goal for the Reds but never earned a clean sheet (you have to be on for the full game to earn that)

 

Elisha Scott Stats excluding war games

P468

CS 137

Conceded 645
