Lev Yashin Club

Lev Yashin Club (Russian: Клуб имени Льва Яшина) is an unofficial list of Soviet and Russian football goalkeepers that have achieved 100 or more clean sheets during their professional career.[1] This club is named after the first Soviet goalkeeper to achieve 100 clean sheets: Lev Yashin. The list was created and maintained by journalist and statistician Konstantin Yesenin.[2]

Traditionally, Yesenin counted goals and clean sheets in the following matches:

  1. Championship - goals scored in top leagues of Soviet and Russian football competitions.
  2. Cup - goals in Russian and Soviet Cup and Supercup scored in the stages where top league teams participate.
  3. European cups - goals scored in European Champion Clubs Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, Cup Winners Cup and Intertoto Cup for both home and foreign clubs.
