If Spiderman Was a Goalkeeper He Would Be Jeremie Janot

February 21, 2008

French goalkeeper Jeremie Janot pretty much typifies crazy goalkeeping. Playing his entire career with AS Saint-Etienne from the youth team, even throughout relegation, this shot stopping maestro has clocked up 1534 minutes (Source: Wikipedia.org) without letting a goal slip through his fingers at home. Janot was named French “goalkeeper of the year” for the 2006-2007 season.

Janot is known for some crazy antics and a passionate disliking for Olympique Lyonnais, so much so that he thought about wearing an AC Milan jersey after Milan had knocked out Lyon from the Champions League. Janot also has a penchant for dress up, donning a Spider Man outfit against FC Istres in 2005, mask and all! Add the fact that Janot is crazy about mixed martial arts, and you can begin to imagine just what happens when he gets in between the sticks.

Following is a video, many may have seen before, but regardless gives you a great insight into Janot’s ability, reflexes and just a little more of his craziness…all the qualities necessary for a great goalkeeper or comic book character.

    Honestly, I admire that. I think I just found my new idol. However, he is the craziest goalkeeper I have ever seen.
