Paulo Maldini

[sneezey15]

What age did he play top level football a fair bit older than Rio so at 35 should not be written off.

[Norths]

I think he retired at 41

Worth a cheeky punt?

[hipsterhoop]

Great point

Apparently Milan has the best medical setup in the game. Beckham even said they saved his career when he was there, and the facts don't lie, Maldini, Costacurta, Seedorf and few more all played til they were getting their bus passes

[Busheyboy]

be good to get Maldini out of retirement

They have the pool straight out of Cocoon

They have the pool straight out of Cocoon

And they bring out ET's glowing finger if it gets serious.

There have been some claims in sections of the Italian media that some of their methods at Milanello may have been less then wholesome in prolonging careers.

Add to those you've named above the likes of Inzaghi, Baresi, Tassotti, Nesta, Ancelotti, Pirlo (still going at Juve) - all played well into their mid - late 30's in very physical positions
