'Senseless attack by fan hasn't put me off' - Sharp targets playing beyond 40

While recovering from an incident involving a fan, the more significant moment for him was the end of his tenure at his beloved home club. A trip to LA Galaxy reignited his passion for the game after scoring a hat-trick, and he is now back with Doncaster Rovers, preparing for the FA Cup against Crystal Palace, eager to continue his football legacy.
