Seaman was 38 at WC 1998
Milla was 42 at WC 1994(I think he is the scorer and oldest to play in the world cup finals not sure about WC quals though)
and shilton was 40 at Italia 1990

Dino Zoff was the oldest to win a world cup at 40
Milla was 42yrs 39 days. But dat is in African currency, so yuh know he was really 50

Ok

He is not starting in Germany but  Kalusha Bwalya is still a legend.

Being the only player that wasn't in the plane crash that killed all his friends and players from Zambia. (1993)
As national trainer
At 41 he took off his trainer outfit and came in the game against Liberia and made one hell of a goal.
I think in the last 10 minutes.
( freekick)

pity Zambia didnt make it to Germany I hope he can be there in Z-Africa he deserves it
