Career

Grimsby Town

Love was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and began his football career as a trainee at hometown club Grimsby Town in 1995.[1] Initially third-choice goalkeeper behind Paul Crichton and Jason Pearcey, he made his debut in Grimsby's 2–1 league defeat against Birmingham City on 1 March 1997. Crichton left Grimsby for West Bromwich Albion in 1997, but Love dropped down the pecking order again on the arrival of Aidan Davison. He joined Southern League club Ilkeston Town on loan during the 1998–99 season, and on his return had a brief run in Grimsby's first team.[2] Finding himself again third choice, this time behind newcomer Danny Coyne and youngster Steve Croudson, he returned to Ilkeston on loan.[3]

Ilkeston Town

Having spent time on loan to Ilkeston Town, he was released in 2000 and signed for the Southern League club on a permanent deal. He left Ilkeston at the end of the 2001–02 season, returned the following season,[1][4] but was released from his contract at his own request in October 2003.[5]

gollark: I did look into those. Spanning tree things are still complicated.
gollark: The rednet approach would be at least not too terrible as every skynet message is kind of a broadcast message.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: And as I said, I want people to be able to run their own skynet servers which still share messages with the main ones.
gollark: I would need separate geographically distributed servers. Skynet just runs off one which is about ten metres from me at home.
