SULLIVAN NOT CONSIDERING RETIREMENT

Doncaster goalkeeper Neil Sullivan has revealed he is not yet ready to start considering retirement from the game.

The 40-year-old remains the No 1 at the Keepmoat Stadium after 18 years as a professional and insists he has not given too much thought to hanging up his boots.

Sullivan said: "I still feel fit, I still feel fine, I'm injury free, so I'm not really thinking about it.

"It comes from everyone else really. It's just one of those things when you reach a certain age. Every mistake you make is because you're too old. Every save you make is because you're using the wealth of your experience. You can't win.

"It's the same as when you're starting out. When you're young and you make mistakes it's because you're inexperienced, and when you make saves it's because your young and you've got no pressure on you. So it makes no odds really."

Sullivan signed professional terms at first club Wimbledon in 1992 and after a brief spell at Chelsea moved on to Tottenham and then Leeds before arriving at the Keepmoat, initially on loan, in November 2006.

Great as our Sulli is , he still hasn't learnt after 18 years to a) kick a ball properly and b) speed up and vary the game from his goalkicks.
