Graeme Souness has swapped his perm and moustache for a silver stubble, while Andrea Pirlo has aged like a fine wine and Gary Lineker and Roberto Mancini still look fit enough to play... which footballers look younger now than during their careers?

Chances are that if you have been on the internet or checked social media over the past couple of years you would have come across a gallery of pictures of footballers ageing badly.

You know the type, side-by-side pictures of an obscure striker of a mid-table club in the late 1980s who now looks 72, despite being 15 years younger.

There are even social media accounts dedicated to footballers who looked to be well into their fifth decade, despite having just turned 23.

There are, however, notable exceptions to both of the above. Players to whom the years have not only been kind but who, in some cases, look even better than when they played.
