My Take

Piet Velthuizen intrigues me because goalkeeping is the loneliest job in football. A 189 cm Dutch keeper from Nijmegen who played at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he chose the position where you erase other people's mistakes and rarely get the glory. There is a particular bravery in throwing that big frame across a goalmouth, knowing one error is remembered far longer than a hundred saves. Scorpio, born in the year of the Tiger, he likely carries the stubbornness and nerve the role demands. I have a soft spot for keepers, and Velthuizen is exactly that breed of quiet guardian.
