Mark Schwarzer won't have far to look for inspiration today - the opposite end of the pitch.
Spurs keeper Brad Friedel is already 40 and Fulham's Aussie stopper reaches the landmark next October.
Schwarzer admitted: "Brad has been a fantastic goalkeeper. When I look at people like him who can still play at the top level, that gives me inspiration to keep going."

So I guess that's Stockdale off this summer. By the time of the 2014 WC, Stockers will have a half-dozen full caps and be competing with Hart as the England goalie. I wonder who we'll have in goal.
