He was known for his athleticism, positioning, imposing presence in goal, and acrobatic reflex saves. He was also deputy chairman of the Football Federation of the Soviet Union. More about Lev Yashin

Yashin earned status for revolutionising the goalkeeping position by imposing his authority on the entire defence. A vocal presence in goal, he shouted orders at his defenders, came off his line to intercept crosses and also ran out to meet onrushing attackers, done at a time when goalkeepers spent the 90 minutes standing in the goal waiting to be called into action. His performances made an indelible impression on a global audience at the 1958 World Cup, the first to be broadcast internationally. He dressed head to toe in apparent black (in truth very dark blue), thus earning his nickname the "Black Spider", which enhanced his popularity.The most expensive item with a signature of Lev Yashin (Original very big pennants test Lev Yashin, with original autograph, Dynamo Mosc) was sold in November 2020 for £159.99 while the cheapest item (Signed 'SUN' Soccercard of Lev Yashin - Russia) found a new owner for £1.20 in May 2014.
