The first goalie to captain a world cup winning side was from Uruguay when they won in 1930 I think. Haven't a clue what his name was though.0

Monzon and Dezoti were sent of for Agentina in 86, Zindane in 2006
Desailly was the other no one got. Surprised as he was on the TV for most games and it was mentioned. Sent of when he won it in 98.0 -
