His time at Manchester United stands as the best in his career, being instrumental in breaking the team's 26 year fast of league titles.
Lows:
Having fallen out with manager Alex Ferguson, was unduly replaced with young starlet David Beckham. Unfortunately, as he was only 26 at the time, it meant his career was on the way down, at too much a young age, although his time at Everton was also personally successful (although the team wasn't).

Brazilian Football Hall of Fame
Brazilian League Player of the Year: 88
Highs:
He is the most capped brazilian keeper, and 4th overall.
Had a great run with Galatasaray, being named MVP in 00's UEFA Cup final win, and being a fundamental part in the club winning a quadruple of titles that year.
Lows:
Never really played for a top european club, his only two domestic titles coming in Turkey at a time when Galatasaray was absolutely walking the league.
Due to this fact had somewhat of a lower recognition, unlike some of the other top goalkeepers of his day who were getting Champions League football every season.
