ThePremier League Golden Glove is an annualassociation football award presented to thegoalkeeper who has kept the mostclean sheets in thePremier League. In football a team's defence or goalkeeper may be said to "keep a clean sheet" if they prevent their opponents from scoring any goals during an entire match. For sponsorship purposes, it has been referred to as theBarclays Golden Glove since its inception during the2004–05 season until the2015–16 season and as theCadbury Golden Glove from2017–18 season to2019–20 season. For the2020–21 season, it was known as theCoca-Cola Zero Sugar Golden Glove and from the2021–22 to2023–24 seasons, it was known as theCastrol Golden Glove.
The Premier League was founded in 1992, when the clubs of theFirst Division left theFootball League and established a new commercially independent league that negotiated its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements.[1] Originally, the Golden Glove could only be won outright by a single player; should there have been a tie, the goalkeeper with the superior clean sheets-to-games ratio received the award.[2] However, starting in the2013–14 season, the Golden Glove is shared by goalkeepers with an equal number of clean sheets, regardless of the number of games they played.[3]
In 2005, the inaugural Premier League Golden Glove was awarded toPetr Čech ofChelsea.[4] Čech's 24 clean sheets in a single season remains the current record.[5] Since 2005 Čech andJoe Hart have won the award on the most occasions with four successes each, with Čech the only goalkeeper to have won the award with two different teams (Chelsea andArsenal).Pepe Reina was the first goalkeeper to achieve back-to-back wins of the award, managing to do so in three consecutive seasons between 2005 and 2008. Joe Hart later repeated the achievement with Manchester City between 2010 and 2013, as didEderson with the same club between 2020 and 2022.[4][6]
During the2008–09 season,Edwin van der Sar surpassed Čech's previous record of ten consecutive clean sheets by reaching 14.[7][8] During his streak, Van der Sar went 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal.[8] In the process, he broke both Čech's Premier League record (1,025 minutes),[9]Steve Death's Football League record (1,103 minutes)[10] and also the all-time league record in Britain (1,155 minutes) for most consecutive scoreless minutes.[11]
