Speaking of third choice keepers I suddenly remembered Stuart Taylor and wondered what he was up to. He's now 36 and if I'm reading wikipedia correctly has had a total of 75 first team appearances over a 20 year career.

What a waste of a career you think he'd just want to play he always seems to be quite happy sitting on the bench or in the stands really don't understand it at all.

For me if I had the ability to be able to play at that level I would want to play as many games as I could and have a career I could look back on and be proud of.

There seem to be more keepers with that mindset tham outfield players. I guess by its nature it's a less glorified role and seems to attract less adrenaline hungry characters that need first team action to stay topped up.
