Neuer made his Bundesliga debut all the way back in August 2006 after coming through Schalke's prestigious academy, where he had been developing as a youngster since first joining in 1991.
Nearly 20 years later and the goalkeeper has won it all. Among his incredible achievements are a World Cup, two UEFA Champions Leagues, 12 Bundesliga Meisterschales, and six DFB Cups.
The definitive face of the modern era of goalkeeping, Neuer has accumulated 542 career Bundesliga appearances - in addition to 124 international caps and 157 UEFA Champions League outings - which leaves him in sixth place for record Bundesliga appearance makers, just four off fifth-placed Mirko Votava.
