How do some players stay in football longer than others?

  • FeriAts @ 26.03.2009

    I read somewhere that Arsene Wenger's training methods prolonged his player's football lives. It's true that Martin Keown, Tony Adams and Nigel Winterburn had long careers.

    So how is Wenger's training methods different than others? What should a footballer do to have a long career? Are there any tips for older players in these methods?

    You see a pattern here don't you? Defenders last longer than others. You don't need much speed when you have all the experience when defending.

    Sheri was used sparingly but played 'til he was about 100.
    :-)
    Yorkie has reinvented himself as an occasional deep lying midfielder.

    Must have been interesting to see Sir Stanley in his later stages.
