I was always smaller than other kids and usually got picked last (my game was Association Football, also known as soccer to USians). But I always volunteered to play goalkeeper, since I was small and agile, and didn't do too badly. You can imagine my delight one day after saving three penalties -- especially after the other team spent a long time trash-talking us. 
We ended up winning three-nil.
I was even more delighted at an indoor game one day. Smaller pitch, smaller goals, fewer players, but their entire team was crowding around me to try and force the ball home. I got there first and hit the ball as hard as I could, to get it far, far away from me. By some chance, it sailed in a perfect parabola over everybody's head (including their goalie) and hit the net on the other side. It's not often that goalkeepers get to score a goal!
