Oh, is he still playing?!

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

hmm edmundo had 18 clubs in 17 years. but five of those clubs were Vasco Da Gama, and two of them were palmeiras. What was the name of that brazilian who played for deportivo la coruna who kept headbutting people?

Valeri Bojinov signs for his 15th club in the last 16 years.

He's only 32.

What is wrong with him?

David Stockdale is in goal for Southend today. I feel like he used to be talked about as one for the future. He's 33 and a bit tubby.

Has anybody mentioned Claudio Pizarro, who'll be turning 40 in October? Still getting a game for Werder.

Pierre Webó re-signed for Nacional of Uruguay yesterday, a mere sixteen years after leaving them. I was slightly surprised to find he's only 36.

George Weah played 79 minutes in Liberia’s friendly against Nigeria today (a match organised to celebrate his career and retire his jersey).

His son is playing for the US against Mexico tonight.

[HORN]

Do retiring players still “hang up their boots”? Presumably nowadays they’re more likely to landfill them.

[Ray de Galles]

Ah no, obviously just didn’t see the last post for some reason!

[Patrick Thistle]

Ray, have you used the ignore poster function on Zeb?

[Ray de Galles]

Not strictly valid for the thread but :

Paul Scholes plays for Royton Town in Manchester Premier League

[Southport Zeb]

Paul Scholes made up the numbers for Royton Town as they lost 1-0 at Stockport Georgians today - his son is a more regular player for them.

[Patrick Thistle]

Neil Ashton, former Salop full back, is playing for Cefn Druids live on S4C right now.

[john chapman]

Paul Bastock, no stranger to this thread, played for Grantham Town on Saturday as their regular keeper was injured. He was born in May 1970 and played his first senior competitive game in October 1988.

[Patrick Thistle]

I'm not sure I really followed that but it sounds fascinating.

Yes and no on Cisse

The historical club of Paolo Rossi and Roby Baggio went bankrupt earlier this year. The club’s assets were acquired at auction by the owner of the Diesel fashion brand, who had been running his own club (Bassano Virtus) about 30 km away. The clubs were merged and are supposed to start play as L.R. Vicenza Virtus in this season’s Serie C.

The “club” that Cisse “signed” for is a completely different entity run by two French guys who are trying to acquire the old club’s licence (which was forfeited at bankruptcy) from the FIGC. But the FIGC hasn’t shown any interest in them, and their club remains unrecognised. As if that wasnt enough, Cisse has already gone back to Senegal to make a television show.

[Uros Predic]

Have we done Kevin Lisbie on this thread recently?

Now 39, he scored four (including a seven-minute hat-trick) for Cray Valley Paper Mills in their 5-3 away win at Lordswood yesterday.

[longeared]

Vicenza have signed Djibril Cissé.

[Hot Pepsi]

Scored two in their win tonight.

[3 Colours Red]

Mind you, he's had that air of "knackered after 10 minutes" about him since he was 16.

[Patrick Thistle]

That was a good goal, but yeah, Wayne looked like his lungs were on fire afterwards

[SouthdownRebel]

To be fair, he seemed to be in need of oxygen by that point

[Ray de Galles]

A bit off that none of his team mates seemed to congratulate him on that.
