Players over 40 still playing in the Alliance League

Do you play with or have you played against anyone over 40 still playing in the Alliance League and Have they still got it or should they be at home with the pipe and slippers.

Our keeper Sid is approaching 40 this year, and fulfilled a lifetime ambition of playing at holmes park last season

QPR Centre back- he must be over 40 but a first team regular still!!

Ah yes the Pateman! He is 54 i think!!!

pretty sure duane at throops is, and hes still bagging them

We got a player at Kirby Muxloe Rangers (Hughes) who is 46, plays week in and week out, only player to have played every minute this season in fact. 2 be fair, he is in better shape then half if not all of our team 2 and is always down the gym as well as playing Saturday's.

Fair play to the lad, hope to be doing the same at that age as im sure many of us are.

Dirty but slow and knows how to have a laugh!

Paddy turned 40 at the start of the season (sorry Pad) and will be put out to pasture this summer

We had Dave Ash last year too who regaled us all pre-match with his inspiring "During the war..................." stories

KMR - Is Hughes really 46??? Crikey, as you say, he's in better shape than most so well played him!!!!!!!

Dont mind admitting ive been 40 since last October. Also Neil Haley is 40 in April, when he is fit we play in centre midfield together for Birstall Rangers - combined age over 80!!

tony morris of efc must be close to 40
kev pateman, not sure about dirty maybe clumsy but never known him dirty

One of the guys at Anstey Hounds must be close to 40 if not over.

I believe he scored in both games against us last season, apparently his only goals in a 35 season carear!

dave ash is a legend!!!! got a big gob though

Tony Morris is 46 odd and still runs round like he is 16. Nice guy tho, I might be lodging with him at the morris mansion soon.

Not quite 40 actually (although yes this year!) and indeed I'm hanging up the boots at the end of this season - assuming I get to play between now and then

Cheers Denty,...yes I'm 44 in June,...considering retiring,..

Well hopefully today will stop your moaning ........for now!!

You will be missed as will Gurns if he hangs his boots up.

Just to re-iterate that Dave Ash at 47 is a Sunday morning legend - may be never backwards in voicing an opinion but i never had any problems with him despite him wanting to play every minute of every game - got a great will to win and no surprise the West End Ressies have improved.

Cally the Hood Park player-manager is 40.

Cheers for that Simon, got to voice your opion and you need the banter to enjoy the game as well as the good football which i got at Gutho, enjoyed every minute.

Actually 48 now, the big 50 is looming.

Still playing (well turning up) at 41, did hang up the boots at end of last season but was asked to carry on, possibly because with me it makes 11 and I drive.

Or possibly because you like to break ankles...

I've already been assigned to be your man marker, which ankle was it by the way, wouldn't want it to be the only one with stud marks.
