So nobody thought to tell the goalie that the game was over? He didn’t hear anyone leaving the field, or the crowd dispersing? This is weird, especially since snopes says it is true.
Fog dampens sound more than you may think, it’s very possible he heard absolutely nothing, and with it being so thick no one would be able to tell he was still there.
I wonder if the entire time he was thinking his team must be running a monster offense since he hadn’t had to defend in so long.
There was the same nonstop excitement there would be during an actual soccer match.
Why do we need to include a relatable caption when the original one is funny already?

I’ve heard this story before, but never registered the date: December 25th, 1937. Having played in Boxing Day rugby matches, and considering holiday “sport” matches in general I’m going to make a couple reasonably informed guesses. 1) The goalie was drunk. Quite drunk. Everyone was drunk. 2) Everyone was still on the field … drinking, the goalie just didn’t realise they weren’t playing any more because he couldn’t see them.
