Jens Gerhard Lehmann (pronounced [?j?ns ?le?man]; born 10 November 1969) is a German former football goalkeeper. He was voted UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year for the 1996–97 and 2005–06 seasons, and he has been selected for three World Cup squads. He was a member of Arsenal's Invincibles, playing every match of their famous unbeaten title winning season. He also holds the UEFA Champions League record for the most consecutive clean sheets, having not conceded a goal in 10 matches whilst at Arsenal.
[about being regarded as arrogant] I believe that I am actually very humble. But sport is the only situation when I cannot permit myself to be.
2
One minute after a game ended I don't yet have the intelligence to evaluate that game.
3
I wouldn't know what to talk about [with Oliver Kahn]. I don't have a 24 year old girlfriend, my life is completely different.
4
A goalkeeper who keeps on leaving his position and gesticulating will start getting regarded as ridiculous at one point. Acting like that will make the opposing team think 'Something about them is not quite right'.
5
[after his 394th and last Bundesliga game] It's been fun, but it has also been a bit emotional because I realised: It's game over now.
6
I'm not a guy like, say, Rudi Völler, who is well-liked by everyone. I am a goalkeeper.
7
People keep telling me, "You are bad at selling yourself." And I keep answering, "You are not quite right about that, I don't sell myself at all." I never did do that and and I never will.
