#3 Franck Ribery - 36 years 1 month 11 days

FC Bayern Muenchen v SL Benfica - UEFA Champions League Group E

Franck Ribery spent 12 glorious years at Bayern Munich and won several prestigious trophies with the club. He arrived from Olympique Marseille in 2007 for a then-club-record fee of €30 million. He not only established himself as one of the best wingers in Europe, but also became an institution with the Bavarians.

The Frenchman formed a venomeous partnership with Arjen Robben and the two dubbed "Robbery" ran defenses ragged in Germany and Europe. The left-winger made 425 appearances for Bayern Munich and produced prolific numbers of 124 goals and 182 assists across all competitions.

Ribery finished on the podium of the 2013 Ballon d'Or in third place, but it is still believed that he deserved to win the laurel that year. The former France international won a grand total of 24 titles during his time with the German giants.

He said goodbye to the club in style by scoring his last goal in his last Bundesliga appearance, which was against Eintracht Frankfurt in 2019.

#2 Mehmet Scholl - 36 years 7 months 3 days

Bayern Muenchen v Barcelona - Franz Beckenbauer Cup (2007)

Before Franck Ribery arrived and made the No. 7 jersey his own identity, Mehmet Scholl was the one carrying the burden of that number. A cultured attacking midfielder, Scholl was a crowd favorite at Allianz Arena. He was impressively two-footed and an admirable dribbler with great ball control.

He spent 15 years at Bayern Munich and made 469 appearances for the club. The former Germany international won eight Bundesliga titles with the German giants, scoring 117 goals and providing 105 assists in his illustrious career. Apart from being the most creative player in the squad, he was a free-kick specialist and a regular threat from dead-ball situations.

In 2005, fans voted him one of the greatest players to ever play for Bayern Munich on a list composed of 11 players. Scholl was an instigator of attacks from the middle of the park. He was an orchestrator-in-chief who was indeed capable of finishing big chances himself with utmost efficiency.

#1 Lothar Matthaus - 38 years 7 months 30 days

It comes as little surprise that Lothar Matthaus is the oldest goalscorer in Bayern Munich history. After all, he was renowned for his longetivity and boasted a senior career that spanned over 22 long years. He is widely considered to be one of the best midfielders of all time.

When Diego Maradona described him as the "best rival I ever had," it really uplifted his already uplifted reputation. There was no shortage of personal laurels for Matthaus. He won the inaugural edition of the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 1991, just one year after winning the Ballon d'Or in 1990.

He represented Germany at five World Cups while helping them lift the 1990 World Cup. He also played his part in Germany's 1980 Euro Championship triumph. It's a shame that such a decorated player never won the Champions League and could only finish as the runner-up in 1987 and 1999.

The German legend was an exceptional footballer, a complete midfielder whose work ethic and professionalism were simply amazing. Matthaus was a natural leader, an assuring presence whose presence automatically got the best out of others playing around him.

His great engine, coupled with his incredible passing vision and range, made him one of the best. He had a peach of a right foot with which he scored some absolute screamers. The Bayern Munich legend also played for Inter Milan from 1988 to 1992, and represented the Bavarians on either side of that period.

He scored his last goal in a 6-1 thumping of Frieburg in the Bundesliga back in 1999.
