Youri Djorkaeff
Another footballer-turned-pundit, Youri Djorkaeff has taken the usual route following exiting the professional game but he has also dabbled in a few other areas, as well - and he’s still playing, well...sort of. Taking part in some charity matches with a number of his ex-team-mates, the former Monaco and Bolton Wanderers star recently turned out, at the age of 48, to play alongside Juan Sebastian Veron, Thierry Henry and Vieira in a match which helped raise awareness of the YDF - a non-profit foundation set up by the player himself to provide services to children through soccer.

He was much sought after before his dismal showing in ‘98 as his brilliant net-rattling performances with Auxerre attest to, but his career faded after poor showings with Newcastle United.
