Spain's Iker Casillas wins Golden Glove
Spanish shot-stopper Iker Casillas has won the Golden Glove in South Africa after conceding only two goals all tournament.
In recognition of his quality performances that helped la Furia Roja to their first-ever World Cup trophy, FIFA has announced that the winner of the Golden Glove award in the 2010 World Cup is Iker Casillas.
The Real Madrid shot-stopper won the award ahead of Netherlands' Maarten Stekelenburg and Germany's Manuel Neuer.
Casillas is a veteran of the national side, with 111 caps, and has been recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
He was ranked fourth in the 2008 European Footballer of the Year voting, and also the highest ranked goalkeeper in 2009. The Iberian was also voted into the UEFA Team of the Year for a third consecutive time.
