Oldest players in the premier league

by retro_royal » 21 Nov 2012 13:07

Does anyone have a list of the oldest players in the premier league?

I've tried a few Google searches but no luck so maybe some internet geeks like you lot maybe able to come up trumps.

Also a list of all time oldest players would be great.

In the "all time" list which presumably means going back to pre-Premier League you would have to include the fabulous Stanley Matthews.
Like Pele and Bobby Charlton,a name known throughout the world and credited with getting youngsters all over Africa interested in football.
I think he was 49 when I saw him play a game for Stoke v Spurs.

Forgot that we were having this discussion at work the other week and the oldest player to ever play in the Premier League is John Burridge.

Not in topic but I saw Kevin Poole has re registered himself as a player this month at Burton. He's 49.

Van der Sar and Jens Lehmann have got to be up there too.

Found this list from 2008, which is outfield players only:

Dixon
Speed
Irwin
Peace
Winterburn
Wilkins
Robson
Strachan
Sheringham

Id guess Giggs, Scholes, Delap + the keepers can be added. Ian Harte maybe.

An interesting picture starting to develop.
