This is good :) I like Foster actually and as Sir Alex Ferguson says in that article, he could be a successor to Edwin Van de Sar.

Wow!! But I bet he's not as old as Brad Friedal.

This is the thing with keepers, because it isn't as phsically demanding as being an outfield player, as long as they are good enough, they can play until they're in their mid fourties.
