Who is your top goalkeeper of the season?

Ahead of this year's Goal 50, we want to know who you think has been the best shot stopper during the 2012-13 campaignJun 18, 2013 9:00:00 AMThibaut Courtois - Atletico de MadridThibaut Courtois - Atletico de MadridPOLL

 The latest Goal 50 for 2012-13 is fast approaching as we review the
best players from all regions of the world over the previous
season.

 This is the sixth edition of the award, which has previously been
won by current holder Cristiano Ronaldo (twice), Barcelona star
Lionel Messi (twice) and Wesley Sneijder in 2010.

 As part of the build-up to this year's prize, we are running a
series of polls asking readers to vote for their own best players
in each position for what should be an intriguing debate.

 We kick off with the goalkeepers and there are a number of
high-profile candidates who can lay claim to having been the best
player between the sticks over the last 12 months.

 Manuel Neuer secured treble glory with Bayern Munich as their
resolute defensive record served as the base from which they
claimed the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League.

 Thibaut Courtois was inspired for Atletico Madrid, on loan from
Chelsea, as they beat city rivals Real Madrid to win the Copa Del
Rey, while Atleti also enjoyed the best defensive record in La
Liga.

 At the Bernabeu, Diego Lopez was at the centre of a huge
controversy after Jose Mourinho continued to select him in favour
of the dropped Iker Casillas. Even Casillas' biggest fans, though,
did not begrudge the widespread view that Lopez showed excellent
form throughout his time in the side.

 Gianluigi Buffon and Samir Handanovic were amongst the standout
performers in Serie A, while David de Gea was voted in the PFA's
Team of the Season after his performances for champions Manchester
United in the Premier League.
