BridportOwl Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Found out last night that 37 year old Leroy Lita is still plying his trade at non league Stratford. I would assume he doesn't really need the cash, so I would like to think he just loves playing football. I do like looking at the lower leagues to see which old pros are still lacing up their boots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I noticed the other day that 39 year old Nathan Tyson is on the books at Chesterfield, currently on loan at Alfreton Town. Still not forgiven him for turning us down 17 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I was amazed to see Stephen Quinn still playing when he scored against us for Mansfield in the cup. I thought he was older than 35 and had retired long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighworthOwl Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Luka Modric is 35 and still doing it for Real Madrid. Extra marks for sinking Scotland in the summer after I was reliably informed by a Scottish mate he was s**t because England beat Croatia. Even more pleasing that the same mate bought a Croatia "Modric" shirt before we played them in the world cup semi final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a right tw8t 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putney Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Milan Baros is still knocking about. At the start of the pandemic he was playing in the Czech top flight but retired shortly after. Apparently he's come back now to play amateur football there, don't know what tier that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 When Chris Gunter played against us the other week I was surprised he was still playing at L1 level, I thought he'd be about 38. Turns out he's still only 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Kevin Ellison, who looked like he’d had a tough paper round when playing for Hull back in the 2005 promotion season, is still playing for Newport County in L2 at the ripe old age of 43 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to watch Madrid play for my 40th (5 years back) and Modric was just sensational that night. Never gave the ball away and just controlled the game. Possibly the best player I have ever seen in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratford Town are currently managed by Tim Flowers too. Isaiah Osbourne who we had on loan under Dave Jones or Stuart Gray plays in the same league for Nuneaton, Billy Key plays for Coalville Town in the same league. My hometown Banbury are running away with the Southern Premier Central this season, 20 points clear at the top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
