    Washington FC sign Pascal Chimbonda, obviously.
    I wonder how many other people thought he'd signed with an North American Soccer League club?

      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.

          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.

            "Bonkers week" for 47 year-old Paul Bastock - the man who broke Peter Shilton's record of 1,249 career appearances

            Comment


              I don't think Guinness will let him have the record - Shilton's were all for fully professional teams and they're quite insistent on these things.

                Surprised to see Speroni still going at Palace

                  I've just noticed that Georgios Samaras, once of Celtic, has turned up in the second tier of Turkey with Samsunspor. He's only 32 but I could have sworn he was much older.

                    The other day whilst browsing the Russian third tier tables I noticed that Roman Pavlyuchenko is now playing for Ararat Moscow. They top their section, whilst Roman is second top scorer.

                      Alan Smith came on for a 2 minute runabout for Notts County today. He now has a man-bun.

                        Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored today for Telford in the FA Trophy

                          Is that the blond Leeds/ManU fighty one?

                            Yes. Notts are like a retirement home for ex-PL players, alongside him there is Shola Ameobi, Nicky Hunt and Jon Stead.

                              In a reverse of the usual sentiment on this thread, 35 seems awfully young to be a keeper two years in to your retirement.

                                Phil Bardsley is making his seventh league start for Burnley, 11 years after his sixth.

                                  34 year old Carlton Cole is training with Wimbledon. I think it could very likely be just for him to gain fitness but he’s actually the kind of target man they could do with.

                                    Mikel Arteta is only 35 and is already in his second coaching job.

                                      Described by someone in our local as looking like "Karl Pilkington just back from inter-railing"

                                        Hadn't realised Michael Tonge was still playing until I saw him turn out for Port Vale today.

                                          Tomáš Rosický retires.

                                          He was at Sparta Prague apparently.

                                            Last of his kind

                                              Samuel Eto'o? The Samuel Eto'o?!

                                              Nice understated announcement, mind.

                                              (How do I embed a tweet on here?)

                                                The word tweet in square brackets (and then /tweet afterwards)

                                                  Roque Santa Cruz scored last night for Olímpia of Paraguay against Junior Barranquilla in the Copa Libertadores.

                                                  I thought he was older but he’s only 36.

                                                    I had the identical reaction.

                                                    I also hadn't realized that he already has something like 40 games for Olimpia
