The Story of the Oldest Player Ever
3,691There have been a lot of professional footballers in the history of the world, but only one has played this long and he is not close to done. King Kazu has tackled basically every challenge you could possible come up with -- he’s a Japan legend, he built his domestic league, he played in a top five league, and he showed longevity.
Now, he is just inventing different challenges for himself because noone else has ever stayed on a professional contract this long. This entire video is his story from beginning to NOT end because he is still playing to this day and may play for quite a few more years until he is finally not able to contribute at a professional level.
Much Love,
The Zealand
