Goalkeeper

Having finally left the Riverside, Schwarzer will be looking for one final hurrah in the Premier League. Staying up would be a bonus

One of the top-flight’s most reliable – and biggest – custodians at 6ft 5in, Schwarzer parted company with Middlesbrough after 11 years’ sterling service in July 2008, joining Fulham on a free transfer.

The eleven years from 1997 he spent at the Riverside constituted the longest spell a foreign player has spent at any one club in English football history.

The Aussie international arrived in England in 1994, joining Bradford City before moving to the north-east for £350,000.

He became one of Boro’s favourite sons, winning the League Cup in 2004 and playing in the 2007 UEFA Cup final. But he turned down a new two-year deal at the Riverside – and overtures from Bayern Munich and Juventus – in search of guaranteed first-team football. He still wears the same shin pads he’s had since he was 19!

Cant believe he is rated so highly on here. Best days are behind him. Positioning not the best. Cant fault his shot stopping though.

Absolute legend for Australia.
Got us to the World Cup and has been a special ever since.
Uncanny ability to save the really important penalties.

He's quite consistent but he can sometimes make some mistakes.
I think Boro will cope without him as they have 2 good young keepers in Brad Jones and Ross Turnbull.
Fulham always seem to change keepers after they let Van Der Sar go.

Kasey Keller's 38, Antti Niemi's 36... bet the Fulham purse-holders were delighted to shell out for 35-year-old Schwarzer...
