Jean-Marie Pfaff's career is studded with accolades that reflect his brilliance as a goalkeeper. He was the first-ever winner of the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper award, a testament to his standing among the greats. His Golden Glove at the 1986 World Cup remains a highlight, as he conceded just four goals in seven matches.

These honours, combined with his Belgian Footballer of the Year titles, underscore his lasting impact on the sport.
