He was the last player born in the 50s to play a PL game. Played his last game for Coventry 6th May 2000. Neville Southall was a very close 2nd who played his last game 2 months earlier.
Is the one I was thinking of. He never played a PL game but was on the West Ham bench at the age of 46 No one born in the 40's played a PL game.
Still waiting on the last player born in the 60s to play in the PL (which could still be broken but I pretty much doubt it).
The last players to play in the premier league who were born in the 1950s and 1960s. Bonus points for a one that came very close to appearing in a premier league game who was born in 1940s.
No cheating.
