Wiltshire robin Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Wasn’t there something a couple years back about famara being older than what he was saying . I doubt there was any truth in it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there was any truth in it ? Don't remember that but I do remember Obafemi Martins having the same rumour. Tbh Rooney looked in his 30s when he made his debut at 17.

Tinmans Love Child Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I’ve heard reports that some of the asylum seekers coming over on the boats from France, who have no paperwork at all, say they are under 18 as they will get better treatment as a minor, and the Uk can’t prove it either way, apparently some of the guys look over 30!

Made 3 appearances for Lazio before being loaned out to various Seria B clubs and now - at 25 - "retired" out to a Chinese club. Thing is, Lazio had to bring in dental and bone density experts to supposedly prove his age as the Italian authorities disputed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I remember a PNE scout coming down to watch one of our strikers at Brislington who’d been banging the goals in. He allegedly asked someone which player it was, saw the player was slightly greying so asked how old he was. 32 was the reply. “Ah, bollocks, heard he was 19”…got in his car and drove off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was working with young offenders, we had a couple of Vietnamese shipped in claiming to be 16. They had to have dental and bone scans which apparently help age people. The report back suggested both were at least in their mid thirties! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Ages and appearances are fun. I don't believe it's an urban myth. Lukaku's mum had to bring his birth certificate to games because nobody could believe he was the age he was. This was him aged 13 I think. The other end, I played for my rugby veterans team because I'd reached the age that you qualify (35) and not long after, one of the colts mums asked me what age group I played for believing I was still a teenager. Still get id'd now occasionally. One day it'll stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 A distant relative of mine, played in the Western League and was approached by an Arsenal scout after a match in the 1970s. He had a baby face and a mop of long blonde hair. The scout wanted him to come up to Highbury for a trial. However, my relative was too honest when asked his age, as soon as he said 36, the scout lost interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
