We have a winner! 55 year old Dave Beasant is on Stevenage's bench today.

37 year old David Connolly returns to Wimbledon.

Recoba's still got it at 38

Always had a bit of a soft spot for El Chino - was an automatic buy for me in the Pro Evo Master League back in his Inter days.

Frank Sinclair and Billy Turley pitched up for Brackley Town away at North Ferriby the other night.

Sadly, Frank didnt score a comedy own goal.

Liam Miller has gone "home" to League of Ireland title contenders Crk City. He could line up in midifeld alongside Colin Healy.

Not too many ex-internationals choose to lower themselves to play League of Ireland but Keith Fahey and Stephen McPhail are both on Shamrock Rovers books for the coming season. The bankrupt Keith Gillespie was a star turn for First Division Longford Town until the end of the 2013 season, at the age of 37 or so.

Jon Macken scored for Bamber Bridge in the NPL 1st division play offs last night.

Proud to say my interest in the subject led me to score 8/10 in this quiz.

Yes, saw the discussion of that on the Euro qualifiers thread and AE's input. Can't believe he's only 34.

I had to remind myself this morning that Raul is actually playing in the US with the Cosmos.

Also, you might have seen a ridiculous 40+ yard goal by Ludovic Guily recently, playing for the amateur club Monts d'Or Azergues Foot (who play in stadium they named after him). At one point he was joined at the club by Sidney Govou.

The latter now plays for FC Miami City Champions.

(wiki wormhole stuff...)

Not only is Raul playing for them, but he's playing with Marcos Senna (who is finally retiring this year).

FC Miami have some kind of tie in with PSG that I've never really understood.

Ditto ditto, but Rush and Klinsmann

Kazu Miura has scored twice so far this season for mid-table J2 side Yokohama FC. He's 48.

I thought Fabian Ernst was playing in non-league football in Hanover. Has he gone back to Turkey?

Raul's at NY Cosmos? Excellent news!

I should have clocked he was still playing for Boro, but Jonathan Woodgate's appearance on a team sheet gave me an almighty surprise.

Sean Thornton (the bleached blonde chubby lad from Sunderland's lowest-ever points season) plays in Ireland now, and surprisingly he's only 32.

At the age of 43, after a break of 16 months, Rivaldo was back in action last night for Série B's Mogi Mirim. They actually won their first game of the season against Naútico but both goals in their 2-1 win were scored after he'd been subbed.

As Rivaldo is club President, he could probably go on selecting himself for as long as he likes. It is worth pointing out though, that as President he seems to be an utter twat. Recently, he retaliated to criticism by fans by quintupling admission prices from 20 to 100 Reais.

Just read that Selim Teber (played for a few seasons in the top two divisions for Kaiserslautern, Frankfurt and Hoffenheim) has signed for his hometown club, VfR Frankenthal.

Did he also fall over dramatically clutching his face?

I think he had been playing in Turkey for Ankaragücü for the past few seasons. Never realised he had played at that high a level.

Someone tweeted today that Jason Koumas has officially retired.

I thought that had happened years ago.

[Etienne]

Oh, is he still playing?!

It did. Then he came out of retirement to play for Tranmere.

[Patrick Thistle]

Oh, is he still playing?!

Well that worked out well for Tranmere then.

[Ray de Galles]

Oh, is he still playing?!

I don't think Koumas actually retired when he left Wigan in 2011, he just didn't have a club for a couple of years. He always was a strange, moody chap though he was excellent in his first loan season at Cardiff.
