Israeli, 73, breaks world’s oldest footballer record
An Israeli footballer has entered the record books after becoming the world's oldest player to take part in a professional game at the age of 73. Isaak Hayik set the record by playing as a goalkeeper for Israeli team Ironi Or Yehuda on Friday afternoon.
Despite his advanced years, Hayik said he was "ready for another game" after playing for the full 90 minutes.
He received the Guinness World Records prize at a ceremony after the match, just days ahead of his 74th birthday.
