FeriAtsI 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?

Yorkie has reinvented himself as an occasional deep lying midfielder.

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