Lev Yashin Club (Russian: Клуб имени Льва Яшина) is an unofficial list of Soviet and Russian football goalkeepers that have achieved 100 or more clean sheets during their professional career.[1] This club is named after the first Soviet goalkeeper to achieve 100 clean sheets: Lev Yashin. The list was created and maintained by journalist and statistician Konstantin Yesenin.[2]
