It is called Ionel Pirvosin the 1996/97 season it was passed by PAOK, he even made it to the Romanian national team and… he’s still playing, at 53. Specifically, he is a player-coach in Brasovthird division team in Romania.
Yesterday in a league match, returning to action this year after 2007, he scored an improbable long-range volley. He beat the opponents’ 17-year-old goalkeeper, who was not even born when he was playing in the Champions League group stage with Steaua Bucharest.
Now gray-haired and with a… belly, the scorer drowned in the hugs of his teammates, showing that art is not forgotten. “It’s one of the most beautiful goals of my career and it will go down in history because I scored it at 53. From what I remember, my last goal was in 2005“, said Pirvos.
His team, although leading 2-0, drew at the end and dropped to first place in the league after nine straight defeats.
