Who's the oldest player to have played in the FA Cup since Stanley Matthews?

Jog on...

Ray Clemence

Peter Shilton - vaguely remember it being for Leyton Orient on TV. Something in the back of my mind however, tells me he played his last game for Plymouth or Torquay?

 

[shooter mcgavin]

Surely it is Budge, or has he just got the top flight record?

 

[Guest]

I know the Doncaster chairman made an apperance, not sure it was in the cup or not.

Are you going to inform us of the answer or is it just a question to get everyone to participate where the answer is left hanging?!

 

[southend4ever]

Neville Southall?

Does this include FA Cup qualifying or is this first round proper onwards ? - I need to know as it has a bearing on my answer

There could possibly be a clue in that the question is posted in Shrimpers Chit Chat - why else would a moderator post it here. I can't believe he would be stupid enough not to post it in a relevant forum unless it was an SUFC player. We didn't put Frankie Banks out on loan to anyone in the last couple of years did we ?

I reckon it was a guy with a surname of Hutchison (first name Mick?) who played for Coventry in an FA Cup Final but was still playing for Merthyr Tydfil in the Conference well into his 40s.

It could even be Peter Taylor......

Barry Silkman. Came on for Harrow v Wycombe in the 1st round 3/4 years ago I think.

He is now a football agent I believe.

Correct...

Not just an agent, but one of the leading ones in the UK- client include:

Geremi
Yakubu
Berger
Boateng
Viduka


Also found this: In 1977-78 season Barry Silkman and Rachid Harkouk got 9 months suspended sentance for handling 250,000 pounds worth of American Dollar bills.

Soon after Rachid got transferred to QPR for £90,000 and Barry Silkman was brought to Man City by their (then) manager Malcolm Allison.

Didnt Barry Silkman advise a certain Millwall Forward not to sign for us?

Anthrobus? More than likely.
