A goalkeeper in soccer or similar. It's a thankless job, you save 10 shots, nobody notices. But you miss one and you'll be called a bum by your own fans. As opposed to a forward striker, who might miss 10 shots, nobody notices. But you make one and you'll be a hero being paraded on shoulders.

Funny, I was going to say the referee - a great refereeing performance will rarely be noticeable.
