The goalkeeper position is something I have studied and loved ever since I started to play. The position always lends itself to unique people, from Jorge Campos to Manuel Neuer, the character list goes on and on.
They are polarizing people -- you either love them or hate them. They get to wear the flashy jersey and use their hands like no other player on the team, but they have to put their body in harm's way to prevent the other team from scoring. Goalkeepers are loud and sometimes cocky as they communicate to their team. They have all the pressure on them as the first person to blame when a goal is scored, and there's always a backup waiting in the wings to steal the job.
