The reverse is way more common. You see people confidently placing players like Yashin and Di Stefano in their All-Time XI despite having never watched them play.

Not that they’re necessarily wrong, but they just go with “Oh, they’re older so they must be better”.

Is it too late to become a professional footballer in a top league? Yeah, it unfortunately is.

Is it too late to just start playing and be good at it? Nope. Go nuts!
