Im writing an article right now where I write about olden but golden players in football (soccer). In the article, I am going to pick two teams: one with players playing today at 40 or older and one with players who played on a pretty high level until their 40s.
I got a few players but I need more.
Todays squad so far:
Keepers: Marco Ballotta (Lazio, 43 years), Gianluca Pagliuca (Ascoli, 40 years), Raimond van der Gouw (AGOVV, 44 years) more?
Defenders: Alessandro Costacurta (Milan, 41 years), Roland Nilsson (GAIS's occasionally playing manager, 44 years)
Midfielders: ?
Attackers: Teddy Sheringham (West Ham, soon 41 years)
All time (or not really, but players quitting in 1990 and onwards):
Keepers: Peter Shilton (Last club Leyton Orient, played until 47), Dave Beasant (Brighton, played until 44-45)
Defenders: Donato (Last club Deportivo La Coruna, played until 40)
