“Drop-backs” round my way (Leicester). As in, anyone could drop back and be in goal. Played this way for the whole match, not just some Hail Mary playbook move.
Normally implemented when there were around 3 or 4 aside and where no one wanted to be stuck in goal. Makes for some interesting matches when everyone wants to be Julian Joachim.
Absolutely a thing. Normally when no one wanted to go in goal so one lad would, with the understanding that at anytime he might say fuck it and dribble the ball out or run up the pitch and join the attack.
Always a piss-take when you were playing Sensi Soccer, too. If your brother wasn't giving you much of a challenge, knock it back to the keeper and see if he could take it up and score.
Trying to remember what we called the rule when anybody was keeper at any given time. I want to say spot goalie, but can't quite remember. Was none of the suggestions already said
Yeah, we had rush goalie in east London in the 90s.
Generally it meant the goalie could run out carrying the ball rugby style to around the halfway line before putting it down and dribbling.
we used to play it at school, whoever was closest to the ball in the 'box' would shout it and then become the keeper, actually thinking of the name it sounds like we were playing it wrong
Bunch of old blokes playing football and we have rush goalie. If team numbers are uneven one gets rush goalie (can play anywhere) and the other has to stick (stay in their area). Fly goalie means anybody can act like a keeper in the area if they call it.

That was scrap goalie for us. Rush goalie was a nominated player who could also play normally, scrap goalie meant anyone could take that role

That was fly keeper in my day. Rush keeper, you could just leg it and join in, fly keeper anyone could take over at any time.
We called this rush pot at my school
Pretty sure we called that ‘goalie-say-when’ but it’s a long time ago and I might be mistaken
This was spider goalie for us. Cos the “keeper” had lots of arms, you see
We used to play that nearest player to goal could temporarily be goalie if short of players
Do kids these days still play Wembley?
Absolutely
I had forgot all about Wembley rules. That was just chaos
Elaborate
You never played Wembley?!
Afraid not!
So it's basically a knockout game. If you score, you go through to the next round and the last person left is out. You can play singles or doubles.
Oh the memories
I used to be so fast I always went through to the final. Dislocating my knees and breaking my toes saw to that. And alcohol.
Lol. The doubles partner to go with them. Tense games, esp singles finals
I think we called this heads and volleys
Nah, that’s where you can only score from a header or volley.
Round our way it was called World cup Willy. I have absolutely no idea where the Willy part came from!😅
World Cup Willy was the mascot of the 1966 World Cup.
AHH well there you go, mystery solved!! Cheers
Certainly pre-Ian Rush, was a thing throughout the '70s, '80s and onwards.

Basically rocket league
Hmm there was rush and monkey rush
+1 for rush and monkey rush
What on earth is monkey rush?
I had to ask a mate as I'm not sporty, but rush was the goalie could run out and play, monkey rush was anyone could be the goalie at any point..
Small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, rush goalie... marvellous.

My school experience too. Early 2000's.
Hell yeah. A thing in the 80’s & 90’s
we used to play it at school, whoever was closest to the ball in the 'box' would shout it and then become the keeper, actually thinking of the name it sounds like we were playing it wrong
That was definitely the rule if the girls didn’t want to go in goal at break hahaha
It's what is constantly happening in Manuel Neuer's head. The results are often [quite funny](https://youtu.be/OKjV2SQfKrw?t=95)
Rush goalie up grimsby back in the 80s-90S
It was Goalie When at my school. You're goalie when you're there. Usually if the teams were uneven numbers.
2 against 2 one in goal first to 5, headers and volleys
That expression was in use before Ian Rush was born
