I really like Foster, a top lad, no shame in admitting he's gotten old. I hope Howard is op to the task or whomever Parker picks can do a proper job :)

Even for a goalie, 40 is an impressive age to still be playing at that level, in ANY sport. And I guess it's better to leave after having help the team climb up a league. Sad thing is, the team a DOES have a superb goalie in Rob Lainton, but he just can't play more than 3 or 4 games without getting injured.
