Hargreaves - old

Post by boris »

he will become the fourth oldest player to have turned out for the Yellows since the side turned professional in 1949
Can't believe none of you have taken up the gauntlet on this.

Come on, who were the other three?

I'm guessing John Shuker was getting on a bit by the end.

Alan Judge has aready been mentioned.

And..oh I don't know, did Harry Thompson ever play for us?

One will be a player that only played once or twice and no-one can remember..........................

This is almost impossible!

However, I did dig up an interesting stat about Alan Judge along the way in that no one older than him has ever played a FL game since 2004, and he's 7th on this all time list.

Andy Linighan was no spring chicken when he played for Oxford 2000/2001.
