Bizarre that most of the answers refer to Roger Milla who is not, nor has ever been, English.  The answer is Peter Shilton, 040 years 295 days in the third place play off game v Italy in 1990.  It was the last of his record 125 caps for England.  Second (and oldest outfield player) is Stanley Matthews v Uruguay 1954 at just under 40....

Considering that he is 33, in the next World Cup (should Saudi Arabia qualify) he would be 37 and possibly his last. I'm not seeing him playing by 2014, 41 years old

Michael Ballack\nGermany, the pundits declare, has just one world-class player going into the 2006 World Cup. But considering that man is Michael Ballack the hosts will feel anything is possible. \nBallack faces two huge challenges this year: to lead Germany to victory in the World Cup and then proving his star qualities all over again in England after he moves to Chelsea. \n\nAt 29, the man from Goerlitz in the old East Germany has matured into the sort of midfielder every coach wants. \n\nHis influence may not always be obvious over 90 minutes, and the German media can be harsh in its criticism of him, but there is no player quite like him when the clock is ticking down and nothing but a goal will do. \n\nSimply put, he thrives on pressure and when his team desperately needs a goal it is inevitably Ballack throwing himself into the penalty area to make the decisive header or provoke the foul that will bring it.

Youngest player to have appeared in a World Cup match, was Norman Whiteside of Northern Ireland in 1982. He was 17 years and 42 days old when he played against Yugoslavia.\n\nThe oldest player, was Roger Milla of Cameroon, who was 42 years and 39 days when he played against Russia in 1994. He infact scored in that game, making him the oldest goalscorer as well! \n\nHope this helps.
