Based Sheringham was still banging them in at 42. Played in the premiership in his second last season
thierry henry could warm the bench for some juvewinslol league relegation fodder
And Benjamin Nivet obviously since he was still playing in Ligue 1 last year at 41
Beckham if you're willing to go back to RM/LM formations. He never relied on pace.
what was 2015 about anyway
If thats the case you can throw in some more english boomers. Scholes, giggs, etc
Seedorf probably
He was dragged out of retirement for one last job
Gattuso could probably still play thugball with some League One players.
He wasn't great playing for Sion before he retired
Ronaldinho
Schevchenko
he was really dubious in his last few playing years. I think he'd already pushed it as far as he could.
maybe at conference level he'd be useful as a set piece specialist
Robbie Fowler is fat but he still has that goal-scoring left foot.
Pirlo
He got in shape for that England legends game recently and looked fucking scarily good. I'd sign an in shape Robbie today as an option off the bench.
Le Tissier looked good still too
Scholes is always the best player on the pitch by far during meme games and testimonials. Probably him
>tfw no Over40s World Cup
that Brazilian fella I forgot his name, left wing ngubu type played for Buyern
scholes just has autism so he tries really hard when everyone else is just having fun
probably keepers can play till quite a late age
Has Scholes never been in a testimonial with Jaap Stam or Clarence Seedorf?
Yeah he actually has. Now that you mention it I remember Jap Staam being insane during the games I've seen him. I change him to my first pic with scholes second, seedorf third. Thanks Dutch breh
Zanetti, Maldini, Figo
Doubt that, his knees barely held together those two years he was elite
Luis Figo
Lampard
Zidane
Rivaldo
Del Piero
Keepers, CBs who weren't slow to begin with, and set piece specialists
This photo makes this guy look spry.
Totti
Luca Toni could still score goals in the mlels
Probably brought out of retirement to be a player-coach, but it didn’t work out.
Pretty much all of them, 40 isn't old, if they kept in decent shape, they're probably a lot better than most MLS players.
Juan Sebastian Veron played till he was 43. He could probably still fuck MLS players up.
Zanetti, Totti, Pirlo isn't 40 yet but close
Of course the Tsu man will when he reaches 40
