Lonely Goalkeeper

The Life Between Goalposts

Feeling alone among others.

Football is indeed a team game, in which 11 people try to score one goal more than the opponent, but the goalkeeper is always confined there, in his big but small arena, behind that abyss represented by the goal, called to defend until the last second.

This short is narrated by Bob Wilson, Arsenal’s historic goalkeeper. Wilson, recalling his past, reflects on the responsibilities, the pressure, and the weight of errors that only goalkeepers have. But “when all else has failed”, only he is left to defend the goal, the team, and dreams.
