    Full disclosure, as an England fan I really have it in for old goalkeepers.
    After seeing a midget outjump our 36 year-old No.1 in 1986, Brehme's deflected lob beat the same 40 year-old in 1990, and Ronaldinho float a lob over our 38 year-old keeper in 2002, I've been firmly against old keepers. I reckon the agility needed to perform at the professional level should mean there's less chance for a keeper to extend beyond 35 than outfield players.

    I blame Dino Zoff in 1982. Him playing in that Italy team spread the misnomer that goalies could last til 40, forgetting he was playing behind Bergomi, Scirea, Gentile, Cabrini and Tardelli.
    Slocs will go at the end of this season, aged 36, will probably retire and go into coaching. That's the way it should be IMO.
