THE LONELY GOALKEEPER

2020 / 4 mins / US / English

"They're the only individual in what is a team game." Yes, that's right. We're talking about goalies. "There is an incredible loneliness about it. The other ten guys can make numerous mistakes in a game...and still go home a hero." So explains legendary Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson, as he reflects on the personal mission of being your team's last line of defense when all else fails. With stakes that high on one's back, it's a puzzling shame goalkeepers don't get the credit in the game they're truly due, like feeling alone in a room full of people. It's an immense pressure, but, if successful, is the biggest payoff any footballer (soccer player for you Americans) can get.
