          The above post has led me to realise that this Friday is the ninth anniversary of this thread starting. Major plans will have to put in place to commemorate it's decade in 2020.

            Actually, Juan of Flamengo is not still playing.

            He made his final appearance tonight at the age of 40, coming on as a late substitute in Flamengo's win against Cruzeiro. He started his career at Flamengo and played at Bayer Leverkusen, Roma and Internacional before returning to Flamengo in 2016. He made 78 appearances for Brazil including the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.

              I saw Barry Hayles (now 46) play for Windsor at Lydney on Good Friday. He didn't play very well, which was something he had in common with his team mates.

                  Pfff. I played Bezirksliga - once - at his age.

                    Shunsuke Nakamura joins Yokohama FC at the age of 41, and isn't even the oldest player there, by some distance too...

                      He's the best, most consistent free kick taker I can remember seeing in the flesh (Nakamura). Though Moravcik just before him at Sellick was also uncanny on the deid ba'.

                          37-year-old former most-of-the-third-tier striker Bas Savage was leading the line for 10th tier Lewisham Borough last night, and scored the opening goal in their 4-1 win from the penalty spot. his Wikipedia entry tails off after he moved to Thailand in 2012, so not sure where he's arrived from.

                              Yep, Whelan's going on 36 but probably our best player last night.

                                Last mentioned on this thread (I believe) in January 2016, Scott McGleish is on the bench tonight for Hendon, and has played one Cup game this season. He's 45, and 18 months older than Jamie Cureton.

                                  Simon Royce was on the bench for Gillingham during their last league game. He's 48.

                                    Did you delete that photo of McGleish, it? Or is a firewall protecting me from revisiting the horror?

                                      Yes, I deleted it and dispensed with the 'lost some timber' dig. Without figuring out how to shrink the photo I thought it best not to launch fresh nightmares, just when you'd got over Barry Hayles.

                                            Noticed yesterday that Grant Holt scored two.goals for Wroxham FC. I had no idea he'd been there for the past year.

                                              Yes. He is still going. King Kazu came on at the end of Yokohama FC's promotion winning game at the weekend at the age of 52

                                              Also in the Yokohama squad is youngster Shunsuke Nakamura (41).

                                              i don't know if they will get much time in J1 next year.

                                                    My bad. It says it in the link text from the BBC and everything.
