Bodo Illgner (born April 7, 1967 in Koblenz) is a former German football goalkeeper, who played for 1. FC Köln and Real Madrid, and helped West Germany to the 1990 World Cup, where he became the first goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a World Cup final.

Club career

Illgner was a product of 1. FC Köln's youth system, and debuted in the Bundesliga on February 22, 1986, in a 3-1 away loss to Bayern Munich. From 1987-88 onwards, he became the side's undisputed starter.

On August 30, 1996, already having started the season with Köln, he was signed by Real Madrid, and played 40 league matches in his first season. In the following, he lost his place to Santiago Cañizares, but regained it in time to play in the 1998 UEFA Champions League Final against Juventus (1-0 win).

In 1999-2000, Illgner would be relegated to the bench by 18-year old Iker Casillas, and retired from football altogether at the end of the next season.

Illgner was voted as Best European Goalkeeper in 1991.

International career

On September 23, 1987, Illgner debuted for the West Germany national football team in a 1-0 friendly home win against Denmark, and went on to back Eike Immel during Euro 88.

At the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Illgner, by now national side first-choice, was in exceptional form, and superbly commanded the backline, which then consisted of the experienced Klaus Augenthaler, Andreas Brehme, Thomas Berthold, Guido Buchwald and Jürgen Kohler (with Matthias Sammer taking Augenthaler's place at Euro 1992). Illgner was almost unbeatable in a 1-on-1 situation and handled crosses extremely well.

In the semifinal, Illgner saved a Stuart Pearce shot in the penalty shootout against England, and West Germany would overcome Argentina in the deciding game, where he would keep a clean sheet (1-0).

Overall, Illgner appeared 54 times for his country, and also played at the 1994 World Cup.
