Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Brinje Grosuplje promote Nejc Lovric from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nejc Lovric has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Timi Oblak steps up from the Brinje Grosuplje academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Timi Oblak has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
