    My Scottish mate informs me that 45 year old Rab Douglas turned out for Arbroath yesterday and kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win at Hampden against Queens Park.

    From that BBC article:

    "He's looking OK on the box (television)"

    Because we could have thought he meant standing on a box, or he's looking OK in the penalty area.

    Paul Merson has agreed you play a game for a Welsh League team. He's 49.

    Ze Roberto is still playing at 43 for Palmeiras. Andy Legg was playing for Llanelli aged 45 in 2011-12.

    Rivaldo left Mogi Mirim in 1994 and returned to score in a 3-1 win over Macaé in 2015 at the age of 43 - so a gap of 21 years.

    The match was also notable because his son Rivaldinho was on the scoresheet as well.

    I was at that game. He equalized for Norwich before Bryan Gunn scuffed a backpass to give Ipswich the win. The only game I have ever been to where I have seen stewards actively encouraging fans on to the pitch to goad the visiting support.

    And weren't they braids in West's hair that made it look green? Similar to how Vagner Love's appeared blue until you got a good close-up.

    West was still at Auxerre when Cureton dyed his hair.

    If I wasn't at work and doing some actual work for a change, I'd be checking Taribo West's time at Derby County to see if he was ever in contention for this...

    Scored twice in his last game. Back on form.

    They interviewed him on Talksport today and talked about that.

    Could he cut it in the Isthmian though?

    Marcus Bent has just signed for Southern Combination Premier Divison Wick, at the age of 39. Apparently the chairman is an old schoolmate of his.

    A friend told me that Llanelli have reformed with Swansea legend Lee Trundle up front for them. He's 40.
