I hope this is the right thread to post this, but anyway...
When you hear "The Unlucky Goalkeeper", you probably remember that goalkeeper who saved a penalty and went to dedicate that save to the fans, just seconds later the balls kept rolling to the net... Right, that was Khalid Askri, a Moroccan footballer who - at the time - was the goalkeeper of the team I support ASFAR. This penalty was a Throne Cup knockout against (not our fiercest rivals, but the fans reallllly hate each other) MAS Fès.
Well, if you're wondering is that enough to make him regarded as The Unlucky Goalkeeper (If you ignore Freiburg captain Oliver Baumann)? No, and after almost 12 years I am here to tell you why. Just weeks later after the first mistake, in a league game against KAC Kénitra, the defenders lets the ball go to Khalid, Khalid tries to control the ball and pass it, Bilal Biat KAC's center forward, launches in a successful tackles forcing Askri to leave the take of his shirt and leave the pitch in probably the weirdest moment of Moroccan football. Mistakes like this are easy forgivable but the impact on the teams performance is hard to swallow as this period was the beginning of a series of bad performances and results from out team. Khalid Askri after this mistake would disappear (some say he went to pilgrimage in Mecca, possible but I'm not sure) and then joined CRA Al-Hoceima on loan in the next season, before stabbing us in the back by joining Raja Casablanca on loan with an option to buy with whom he would play the Club World Cup after what we call here "The Shameful Season" where Raja undeservedly won the league.
