12. Gianluigi Buffon

We have had some fantastic goalkeepers in the Premier League, for example, Peter Schmeichel and Petr Cech. However, one great who never played club soccer in England is Gianluigi Buffon.

Buffon's club career was spent with Parma, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain. He won everything there is except the Champions League, where he was runner-up three times.

In his autobiography, he mentioned that he would have liked to have played for West Ham United. The goalkeeper also got a great reception when his Juventus side played the Hammers in the opening game at the London Stadium.
