10 of the oldest players participating in Euro 2016

#1 Gabor Kiraly (Hungary) – 40 Years, 2 Months & 9 Days Old

This list is like a morgue full of swansongs for some of Europe’s oldest players who seem to be set to calling time on their careers soon after this tournament. With Gabor Kiraly, you’d never really be able to say for sure that is to be the case. With 103 appearances for Hungary at the International Stage, Gabor Kiraly seems set to continue for the longest time possible.

A cult favorite in his premiership days, particularly at Crystal Palace and Fulham, the shot-stopper is likeliest to break a long-standing European record should he make an appearance. At 40 Years, 2 Months and 9 Days old, Gabor Kiraly could beat Lothar Matthaus’ record as the oldest player to have played in the tournament.

While the attention seems to be going his way over the years for his jogging pants stunt in the Premier League, Gabor Kiraly could make do with a nice record to his name, he already makes the top of this list as the oldest player participating in the Euros. Whether he becomes the oldest to appear in one, remains to be seen.
