Lots of talk aboit ghosts at this time of the year. When I was a kid you soetimes ended up in a situation where for a kick about you would have a few kids passing and shooting at the goal with one kid as goalkeeper. If there were enough of you, one could go behind the goalie (rarely a net up in those days) and try to save any shots he coudn't save. We'd call that boy the ghost of the goalie. There was no spooky element there, just a way of referring to the second character.
