Grobbelaar: Alisson could be Liverpool's greatest keeper

Liverpool hero Bruce Grobbelaar says Alisson could be the club's greatest ever goalkeeper.

Grobbelaar kept 267 clean sheets in 628 appearances for Liverpool.

He won six titles as the club dominated English football in the Eighties, as well as three FA Cups and a European Cup.

Grobbelaar told the Mirror: “If Alisson stays at Liverpool long enough he could break all the records that myself and Ray Clemence achieved.

“If he wants to stay at Anfield for a long time he will break all the records for sure and I would love him to do that.

“Alisson is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he deserves to be put on that pedestal.

“Him and Manuel Neuer are probably the best two when it comes to angles — those two are the very best in the world at getting their angles right, they don't have to dive because they aren't out of position.

“They are in the right place at the right time and they move their feet very, very well."
