So, now - to sum up: — Pontiffs (the last Pope) to leading terrorists & revolutionaries (Che) ~~~ Is there anything, I wonder, that makes people goalkeepers? Or is it just a sort of rub·of·the·green[jersey] thing that happens to some ~ like me, & the creator of Sherlock Holmes, & all three of the world's leading tenors? Or brilliant novelists who add words like 'nymphet' to the language [Nabokov]; or Existential philosophical novelists {Camus}?

& would our lives have been different if we had been strikers; or full-backs ~ or even never made it into the 1st XI at all? Who knows?

Goalkeepers, unite!!!!
