Football is a really interesting sport. And if you are a fan,
there are definitely times when the game has had you completely
and utterly shocked. Like Messi leaving Barcelona, for example.
Surely, seeing Barcelona announce Lionel Messi’s exit must have
made your jaw drop. Who would have thought?
Well, that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are even more
things about this game we all love so much that will have your
jaw on the floor. We will be telling you some of those in this
video. Let’s get straight to jaw-dropping football facts!
Can you guess the oldest active footballer?
Nah, come on, it is not Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Even though, at this
rate, he just might soon be. That man never wants to stop.
But surely Zlatan has nothing on King Kazu. Kazuyoshi Miura is
the oldest active football player. This man will be 55 in just 2
months but he is still soldiering on for Yokohama F.C.
Oh, you think he is a goalkeeper or plays in central defence, at
best? You’ll be surprised. King Kazu plays up front. Yes, he is a
forward and has been playing as a forward since 1986 when he
started his professional career at the Brazilian club, Santos.
Now, 35 years later, the former Japan international is still
playing professional football. His really long career has seen
him play in Brazil, Japan, Croatia, Australia, and even Italy.
Anyway, Zlatan may not be able to boast of being the oldest
active footballer, but at least, he can boast of a freakish
record. He has scored in every single minute of an official game.
That is, in his career, he has scored, at least, 1 goal in every
minute from the 1st to the 90th.
No other person in the history of football has been able to
achieve that. Except, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo.
What hasn’t that man done? He literally scores goals for fun!
