Leeds was 2001 (or 2000?), and he was loaned back to Brazilian. When he came back, he proved himself again. Until 2005, he was among the top 3 goalkeepers in the world. The firework incident hurt him psychologically, but still he was way better than Abbiati. Had he played instead of Kalac, we would not have been eliminated by Arsenal in 2008.
There is simply no goalkeeper that has never made a howler once in a while, but to claim that Dida was the worst in the history of football and deny his enormous contributions to Milan are laughable. Mind you that unlike Juventus, Milan history isn't known to have great goalkeepers (Buffon and Cudicini came to mind, but those were long time ago), and I would even go as far as claiming that Dida is perhaps one of the best goalkeepers in Milan history.
