Cristiano Ronaldo at 40: The best players to carry on into their forties
Romario’s pursuit of 1,000 career goals took the Brazilian well past the age of 40s, achieving the feat for Vasco de Gama in 2007. While the achievement is somewhat disputed, not least by Ronaldo who is also chasing 1,000, due to the fact his tally includes junior goals and friendlies, it is certainly not one to be sniffed.
