[quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are exceptions, but size definitely matters for GK. That's why this is one of those positions that can be really brutal on early developers. Often they'll make and start on a top team because of their early growth spurt, but then everyone will catch up, and then start to pass them, until finally the formerly "tall" keeper is now a "short" keeper. Everyone should see this coming when the kid is taller than their parents by age 12, but I've seen it happen over and over again for years and it always seems like a disappointing surprise to the family when it does. The coaches and clubs should know better (what do all those Tech Directors actually get paid for?), but they're more than happy to use the kid for wins while they can get a way with it, and then kick him to the curb without a moment's hesitation when it suits them.
