10 players who are still active in grazing for four consecutive decades!
Football fans often reminisce about the history of the 90s. At that time, a number of stars were born. There are even names that we now know have dominated in that era. Call it the names Paolo Maldini to Zinedine Zidane.
As life is, many players come, and many leave. However, not a few have survived until now. There are some players who are still able to graze at the highest level.
In this discussion, the starting eleven will present 10 players who are still actively playing for four consecutive decades.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Serie A at the age of 38. The former Swedish international forward is now officially embarking on a career in his 21st year in world football.
Although he has never once lifted the European Champions League trophy, Zlatan's journey deserves thumbs up. The reason is, he almost always gives at least one prestigious trophy to the team he defends.
It is noted that Zlatan started his professional career with Malmo in 1999. Until now, he can still perform at the highest level.
Gianluigi Buffon
Gianluigi Buffon started his professional career in 1995 with Parma. At the age of 41 years, Buffon is still listed as a Juventus player.
Even though he is no longer young, Buffon still has the passion to win. One big hope is to win the European Champions League. The reason is, he always failed on several occasions even though he had entered the final.
Buffon, in addition to appearing extraordinary with Juventus, is equally amazing when he is in the Italian national team uniform. He was an important part of the Azzuri squad which lifted the 2006 World Cup trophy in Germany.
Iker Casillas
Just like Buffon, Iker Casillas is also one of the goalkeepers whose quality is still worthy of being reckoned with. Casillas first appeared with the Real Madrid senior team in 1999. After leaving the capital team in 2015, the goalkeeper with the nickname Saint Iker is still active, and is currently the goalkeeper of FC Porto.
Throughout his professional career, Iker Casillas has won many championships. And the most phenomenal is perhaps when he was part of the matador team that won the 2008 European Cup, 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Cup.
Claudio Pizarro
Who would have thought that a sharp striker named Claudio Pizarro was still actively playing until now. Pizzaro, who began appearing at a professional level in 1996, has played for a number of well-known clubs, including Werder Bremen, Chelsea and FC Bayern.
At the age of 41, Claudio Pizarro is still listed as a player for Werder Bremen. Having spent a lot of his career in Germany, Pizarro has recorded as many as six Bundesliga titles.
Roque Santa Cruz
Who remembers Roque Santa Cruz? This 38-year-old player was once predicted to be a future star by Blackburn Rovers. But unfortunately his unstable performance has prevented him from moving forward.
Now, the player with five Bundesliga trophies with FC Bayern is joining the team in his hometown, Olimpia.
Gareth Barry
Gareth Barry has become one of the names most often mentioned in the Premier League competition. Barry started his professional career in 1998. His name is most often echoed by Aston Villa fans, because he deserves to be called a legend there. He was also part of Manchester City's historic squad for the 2011/12 season.
However, the inconsistent performance forced Barry to leave the Etihad Stadium. Now at the age of 38, Barry is still a West Bromwich Albion player.
Artur Boruc
Artur Boruc is 39 years old. He started his professional career in 1998 with Pogon Siedlce. Having traveled to Scotland to Italy, Boruc is now an AFC Bournemouth player.
Throughout his career, Boruc had the most successful period in Scotland with Celtic. The reason is, he has collected three league titles and a number of other domestic trophies.
Shunsuke Nakamura
Hearing the name Shunsuke Nakamura, everyone will immediately focus on a beautiful curve that is sure to enter the goal. Yes, Shunsuke Nakamura is one of the free kick masters in the world. He became a legend at Celtic, and his striking goal against Edwin van der Sar will never be forgotten by fans.
Having traveled to Spain, Shunsuke Nakamura decided to return to the land of Sakura and join Yokohan F. Marinos. Now, at the age of 41, Nakamura has the status of a Yokohama FC player.
Maxi Rodriguez
Maxi Rodriguez, became one of the stars from Argentina whose age almost touched the number 40. Maxi Rodriguez has been a star at Espanyol, Atletico Madrid, to Liverpool. But unfortunately, prestigious titles are not too familiar with him.
Starting his career in 1999, Newell's Old Boys became the team that introduced him to the world football scene. Now, he doesn't seem to want to forget his childhood club, is back on the list as a player based at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa.
Aritz Aduriz
Aritz Aduriz is indeed an old player. Starting his career with Aurera in 1999, Aduriz has played for a number of Spanish clubs.
Now, he is listed as a player for Athletic Bilbao. Perhaps his best achievement came in the 2014/15 season. In that season, Aduriz managed to bring the Basque club to the Spanish Super Cup, where previously he helped Bilbao to win the Copa del Rey tournament runner-up position.
Kazuyoshi Miura
The Japanese player named Kazuyoshi Miura is perhaps the most extraordinary. He is listed as the oldest active player at this time. Kazuyoshi Miura who was born on February 26, 1967, has started his football career in 1986.
He has been poor across the globe, one of which is in Italy when he was recorded as a Genoa player in 1994.
Much of his career has been spent in Japan. Now at the age of 52, Kazuyoshi Miura is listed as a Yokohama FC player.
