In any sport, to have the ball accidentally roll between one's legs, based upon the famous error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
The Baggers scored the goal after Darren got Bill Buckner-ed by the footy.

Get the bill buckner mug.
An inexplicably poor result for a simple task. Usually only the last name (Buckner) is used.

A scape-goat for the 1986 lost of the Boston Red Sox to the odviously superior New York Metropolitains. Mookie wilson (mets outfeilder)hit a soft easily catchable grounder down the 1st baseline. When to the unhappyness of many Bostonians he let the ball roll through his legs in a blunder that allowed the Mets win the 6th game of the 1986 world series. The Mets would later win the 7Th game and pull a major upset and become World Series Championship.
