So nobody thought to tell the goalie that the game was over? He didn't hear anyone leaving the field, or the crowd dispersing? This is weird, especially since snopes says it is true.

Fog dampens sound more than you may think, it's very possible he heard absolutely nothing, and with it being so thick no one would be able to tell he was still there.

I wonder if the entire time he was thinking his team must be running a monster offense since he hadn't had to defend in so long.

He did, according to his autobiography quoted in the Snopes article.

With so much fog, nobody wonders why someone is 15min late :D

I like to think that there was a person holding the camera who knew all along and just wanted to see how long the guy would stand there
