A Horse With No Name Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Back in the dark days of 1982, just after the Ashton Eight, a 38 year old Terry Cooper played in the same team as at least one 16 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Stanley Matthews played until he was 50. Every likelihood he had a team mate who was 30 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Neville Southall made a come-back when he was 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Basso`s still playing for Truro City at 41 but I suppose that`s no age for a keeper. John Burridge played in the prem for Man City at 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 W G Grace carried on playing until he was 60, so there must have been a 40 ish year difference at the end of his career. (You didn't say it had to be football) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 In which case @pongo88 ......Fred Davis played in his last Snooker world championship age 70 so was 50 years older than the youngest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Pretty sure I read in the Bible that Moses was called up to play for the Jerusalem XI v Nazareth XI on a turning pitch (which hadn't quite dried out after all the biblical floods). Fairly sure his great, great, great, great, great plus 35 more greats grandson was captain of the Jerusalem XI at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Robbored plays in a bowls team, he's rumoured to be in his sixties .... so there must be a sizable age gap between him as baby of the team and the rest of 'em who were born when Victoria was shagging Mr Brown.

Mad Cyril Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I believe the record was set by Squiggles 'the Flash' McShellface. The 152 year old Giant Gallapagos Tortoise romped home to a solid tenth place in the Pacific Islands Tortoise sprint open in 1997. The race was marred by the unfortunate incident at the final corner where a 6 year old Ridgeback Turtle overturned and was left floundering on his back until the birds pecked him to death. Sad times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A remarkable 77 year age difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline in the following days "Bethlehem Star" (or was it Star Of Bethlehem) was JESUS SAVES although there was a backpass from Noah that he made a right pigs ear of controlling leading to Jerusalems 47th goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
