Players who careers seem to run on Duracell batteries

lbs?

Oi, that was my gag!

 

[red star portslade]

I don't know how old Alan Cork was when he retired, but it looked like it was in his sixties.

 

[Kumquat]

Blast from the Past: Stanley Matthews (The Wizard Of Dribble).

Wasn't he something ridiculous like 52 when he retired?

Billy Bonds played in the top flight with West Ham up to the age of 42

 

[seagully]

Kanu must be well into his seventies now.

 

[Philzo-93]

What about Maldini, Milan 1985 to 2009!

Exactly what I was thinkin

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Imperial units are always more funny though

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Cafu. International level from 1990-2006.

 

[JBizzle]

Not sure 'keepers count but Brad Friedel must be worth a mention. And didn't Lothar Matthaus play from about 1979 to 2000? (admittedly he ended his career in the US so you could argue it finished earlier). He played for Germany for 20 years too!

 

[Marxo]

Teddy Sheringham, Dean Windass, John Burridge.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Seem to remember a presentation at a PFA dinner for a guy called Tony Ford. Made his debut for Mansfield I thin in the mid 70s. Still going 20 odd years later

 

[Twizzle]

Players of age USED to move down the leagues to keep careers. Now there's such disparity in finances that few will imagine going from £ tens of thousands to £ hundreds.
The ones that start out at the top are a blessed bunch, because later career talents get taken for granted by Prem sides.

I remember a feature on him from a programme at Withdean, he must have still been playing then! Amazing.

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Jimmy Case was 41 when playing for us on his second stint

 

[GingerBeerMan]

David James, started his career in 1988 and still going! Currently playing for...? (No cheating)

Went to Bournemouth last I heard?

Thats a f***ing tramp who found a blades kit in a ripped bin liner and wacked it on, leaving his pissy threads there. Look at his face looks like a confused soak trying to remember where he left his bottle of meths!
