Man City's Hart: I looked up to Man Utd's Schmeichel, Arsenal's Seaman

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has revealed the players he looked up to when he was a budding gloveman as well as who he thinks are the top three current keepers in the world.

The 24-year old has emerged as both City and England's number one over the past 18-24 months and says it was a big name duo who he modeled his game on in his formative years.

"I looked up to Peter Schmeichel and David Seaman," he told the club's official website.

As for the current top three, Hart said: "I would say that, right now, [Petr] Cech, [Pepe] Reina and [Manuel] Neuer.

"I don't really watch any other [leagues], but obviously we've seen a bit of [Neuer] playing for Bayern Munich."
