| NintendoMan said: also @ highwaystar101, David Seaman (arsenal keeper), David James (portsmouth keeper) and Van Dar Sar (MUFC keeper) are all over 36 and they didn't/haven't struggled. The oldest player was some guy in his early 40's (40-42 i think) |
they are all goalkeepers. Goalkeepers play longer because they don't use as much energy during a match and so they don't wear out in the early 30's.
I believe the player you are reffering too was Teddy Sherringham, who was a legend for going on so long. But he couldn't play a whole match and kept dropping to worse and worse teams in the last 8-9 years of his career. It was a miricle he played in the premiership until then.
