Pascal Zuberbuhler has hailed fellow Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer as the best in the Barclays Premier League.
The experienced Australian was named the club`s player of the year last season following his move from Middlesbrough, who were subsequently relegated last term.
And Swiss star Zuberbuhler has admitted his 37-year-old teammate is top dogs in his eyes.
"Petr Cech, Pepe Reina, Edwin Van der Sar, they're all very good goalkeepers. But for me Mark Schwarzer is the best - the real number one," he told www.fulhamfc.com.
"He had a fantastic season and I think he deserves all the recognition he gets, because he was one of Fulham's most important players last year. We won quite a few points and games thanks to Mark's form between the posts.
"Some of the saves we saw were truly world-class. If a team wants to be successful on the pitch they need a strong keeper and Fulham have that with Mark."

Schwarzer was immense for us last season, and we are very lucky to have a goalkeeper of his quality.
Brede Hangeland also had a fine season, and it is a tough one to choose between the two imo. So many heroes
instrumental in getting us to our highest ever spot, Danny Murphty, Aaron Hughes and Clint Dempsey to name a few. If, as certain media suggest, we are in for Tuncay, and possibly Sidwell, the squad is looking good for getting a top 10 spot, bearing in mind we will be playing quite a few games in Europe.
Roy Hodgson seems to have the Midas touch about him and I hope he weaves a bit more magic and brings in a young pacey striker who is good in the air, and another capable defender. COYW.
Definately one of the best keepers in the league. I'd say Hangelaand was the clubs best player last season though.
