Azeem Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Who are your top ' veterans ' still playing the sport professionaly anywhere in the world. Age limit can be tolerated if its a year less than 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Surely Claudio Pizarro has to be amongst them. At 40 he's still playing in Germany and still scores from time to time. Paolo Guerrero just turned 35. Not sure how rusty he'll be when he comes back from his ban, but he's an example of a forward who peaked at an old age. He went from being a relatively good player in his 20's to outright world class since 32. It's a shame we weren't able to see him in Europe because of his age. I genuinely think he could have done well in a top 5 league. Farfan turns 35 this year. He's still good but he hasn't aged as well as Paolo or Claudio. Anyways Peruvians aside, probably Buffon.

His attitude really unimpresses me in the MLS, but the quality is still there no doubt. Even at Manchester United, at 35 he was still doing well.

Guest Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 To be fair, CB's and goalkeepers are the boring answers. If we're just talking about forwards... Villa, Zlatan, Guerrero, not sure how Aduriz is doing these days are a few examples. I can name plenty of defenders and keepers, but yeah Pepe and Buffon.

Administrator Stan Posted January 28, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 28, 2019 Buffon and Zlatan immediately came to mind. Chiellini at 34 (turns 35 in August) has to be up there too if age limit can be tolerated. And one for @The Palace Fan - Glenn Murray. Not many strikers can hack it in the Premier League, let alone at 35. Same with Aduriz in La Liga but I think he meets the age threshold? Jermaine Defoe as well even though he's moved to Scotland temporarily. Dani Alves perhaps? He's been round for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
