Although a rare occurrence some players will go through their entire careers without scoring a goal. Goalkeepers will automatically spring to mind. Its never an easy task to find the net, after all one of the main objectives of the game is goal prevention. Scoring one may prove difficult for some players scoring twice in a game almost impossible while the feat of scoring three goals in a game has even been given a name all to itself, a Hat-trick.
Beyond that is the story of legends…
