It's somewhat fitting that the loneliest position in football is identified with the number one. In some circles the role has transcended beyond traditional convention, but one contemporary exponent is following a well-trodden path. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, and at this moment in time the Oranje's goalkeeper jersey belongs to Jasper Cillessen; it's been that way for the last 16 months. It’s a testament given the many challengers breathing down his neck and ready to pounce, but so far he's shown no signs of resting on his laurels. Competition after all breeds excellence.
