53-year-old Kazuyoshi Miura is not done with being a professional footballer just yet.
The former Japan international, who broke the great Stanley Matthews' records for both the oldest goalscorer and player in a top national division, joined Yokohama FC in 2005 and has somehow managed to continue extending his contract year after year.

He managed just 67 minutes of action in the J1 League last season, 42 fewer than he managed last year, but that hasn't scared Yokohama off. The club took to their official website to announce that Miura has been handed yet another one-year extension at Mitsuzawa Stadium.
