Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart rates Juventus No1 Gigi Buffon as the world's best.

As Hart won that 50th cap for England, Gianluigi Buffon was winning his 147th at the age of 37 and proving as sharp as ever. The England goalkeeper is a fan.

"It's hard to look past Buffon. He's absolutely amazing. What a keeper - 147 caps, countless titles, the World Cup, European trophies. What a goalkeeper and what a gentleman. He's real idol of mine and it's a real privilege to share a pitch with him.

"I've got a long way to go. But to see people like that at the top level is a real good feeling. I like him. I've watched his career and how he is around people. It's a small amount of time you spend with people when you are in the tunnel with them but he oozes class.

"He is a classy guy and it's great to have an icon like that. Fraser Forster played against Juventus a few times and said the same thing."
