Good point. I hadn't thought of that, but it does seem like a lot of goalkeepers are still at the top of their game well into their 30s.
The head scout that filed that report was horrible, though. When I hired Anton Sambrook, whose ratings are much better, his evaluation of Lovegrove made more sense.
Lovegrove had a lot of tough luck during 2012-13. He kept getting hurt, and when he was healthy, he carped about not getting first team football. By then I had signed Tom Halsall, and he and Conor O'Donnell were solid in goal for us.
Robert signed with Bitton FC, another amateur club in the Western Premier League, in February, but he hasn't played much more for them.
Thanks for the comment, korme. Stop by anytime.
