Don’t ask me how

“It was in 1958, I was 15 years old, and lived in Karlstad. During that time I was very interested in sports and I was asked to come and see my friend’s soccer game. It was a big game, approximately 3000 in the audience, I think. However, 15 minutes before the game would start, the
goalkeeper still hadn’t showed up. Everyone in the team were there, except the goalkeeper. The coches asked if anybody had seen him. Nobody knew where he were. The coaches didn’t know what to do when my friend suddenly said, “My friend here can play, we used to play on the old aircraft field and he is a good goalkeeper. I got to borrow some clothes from the team and just a few moments later, I was the goalkeeper on the football field.
The game went on and I manage to catch the ball a few times. With only 10 minutes left of the game the other team got a penalty kick. The stats were 2-2. They picked their best player. He walked up to the ball, backed off a few meters, started to run and hit the ball. I closed my eyes and, don’t ask me how, but suddenly I woke up in the bottom left corner with the ball glued to my hands. The feeling was just amazing and the crowd were cheering. The game went on and later we did the game’s final goal and won."
