Well, let's see. Since you've selected 1949 as your starting point, this would preclude the '48 London Olympic games.\n\n1952 - Josey Barthel of Luxemboug won in 3:45.1 \n\n1956 - Ron Delany of Ireland won in 3:41.2\n\n1960 - Herb Elliot of Australia won in 3:35.6\n\n1964 - Peter Snell of New Zealand won in 3:38.1\n\n1968 - Kip Keino of Kenya won in 3:34.9\n\n1972 - Pekka Vasala of Finland won in 3:36.3\n\n1976 - John Walker of New Zealand won in 3:39.17\n\n1980 - Sebastian Coe of Great Britain won in 3:38.40\n\n1984 - Sebastian Coe of Great Britain won in 3:32.52\n\n1988 - Peter Rono of Kenya  won in 3.35.96\n\n1992 - Fermin Cacho of Spain won in 3.40.12\n\n1996 - Noureddine Morceli of  Algeria won in 3.35.78\n\n2000 - Noah Ngeny of Kenya won in 3.32.07\n\n2004 - Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco won in 3.34.18\n\nSo, what we can say is:\n\nThe times improved from 3:45.1 to 3:32.07, well off the current world record of 3:26.0\n\nOne World record was set by Herb Elliot 3:35.6\n\nThe fastest winning time was 3:32.07 by Kenya's Ngeny.\n\nMost of the races were tactical in nature, thus most of the times were well off the the WR or the athletes's PRs. (Especially in 1976, 1980 & 1992)\n\nKenya has won 3 golds, Great Britian and Australia has 2 each. \n\nEurope has produced 6 winners, Africa has 5, and Australia/NZ has 3.

For me its Lev Yashin who inspired USSR to win 1956 Olympics Gold and European Championships in 1960 \n\nFifa have an award called the Lev Yashin Trophy which is given to the best goalkeeper at each World Cup Finals. \n\n\nMentions also for Banks & Zoff who both won World Cups and despite his crazy antics Fabien Barthez who won World Cup & European Championships with France.
