If Nwwport won't give him a chance, I wonder if he fancies a stint at Barry Town.

His family is still in the Swansea area and his son is in the academy there as well.

The latest in my series of players I'd completely forgotten about turning up at non-league clubs is Simeon Jackson (49 caps for Canada) playing for Chelmsford City last night.

Last season's title winning top scorer was 36 year old Rene Howe of many a lower league club fame, He left in the summer citing the increased commitments needed at the higher level not fitting in with his post-football career but as far as I am aware is still playing for Ware FC.

Originally posted by Tony C View PostI think I may have mentioned this previously on a match going thread but I saw ex Derby (and about ten other clubs) goalkeeper Stephen Bywater play for Wythenshawe Town at Kendal in a North West Counties League game a few weeks ago. He’s 41.
Stephen was from the third generation of the family with a connection to Spotland. Among his many roles dad David was responsible for the development of the women's game at the club while granddad Les used to drive the team bus and ran the coach company that drove Dale fans up and down the country for many years.

Spectacular goal by Nicky Maynard for Macclesfield at Trafford yesterday, starting at around 9.52 :

I was surprised to find that Maynard is still only 35.

Last nights match between Southport and Brackley had both teams playing 40 year old goalkeepers - Tony McMillan for Southport and David Lewis for Brackley. Both have previously played for clubs that haven't existed for at least 15 years (the original Runcorn for McMillan, Moor Green for Lewis).

36 year old, Matthew Barnes-Homer, came on for Gloucester City last night in their 1-0 defeat to Buxton.
He's there in a coaching capacity mainly, but they're going through a bit of an injury crisis at the moment/

Tite has just announced the Brazilian World Cup squad.
It includes Daniel Alves, currently playing for Pumas in Mexico. At 39, he is Brazil's oldest player ever to go to a World Cup, beating Djalma Santos who was 37 in 1966.

That's glorious. The looks on the faces of his coach and goalie are even more fun than the goal.

That's pretty impressive. I remember watching him at the National Hockey Stadium when he played for 'Wimbledon'. I think this was 2003.
