Alireza Biranvand Goalkeeper

In addition to his ability to throw a ball long distances, Beiranvand’s story is nothing short of inspirational. As a youngster, he ran away from home to fulfil his dream of becoming a professional footballer and because he moved away, he was homeless for some time. He proceeded to work in a dress factory, a car wash and as a street cleaner before making it, according to The Guardian. Then, at the 2018 World Cup, the story went viral after he saved a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. Beiranvand isn’t the only goalkeeper with a unique talent. Ibrahim Alma, the 29-year-old Syrian shot-stopper, has become a viral sensation of late for his far-from-normal clearance technique.
