Teddy Sheringham of West Ham United is the oldest at nearly 40. There are other players in their late 30s too - like Gary Speed (Midfielder, Bolton Wanderers), Shaka Hislop (Goalkeeper, West Ham United), Dennis Bergkamp (Striker, Arsenal) and Alan Shearer (Striker, Newcastle United) to name a few. Age isnt important - its fitness, natural ability, vision, attitude and commitment.

I wish all of you quit asking this question. Footbal has been around for more the 100 years. To name the best ever, you have to be more than 100 years old. Just to name Pele, you have to be at least 45, because he stop playing almost 30 years ago. Also, how can you appreciate the value of a scorer against the value of a goalkeeper who made de difference beetwen wininig and losing, stoping the other team from scoring. The same for a good defensive player. All you name are scorers, and scoring is just half of the game.

He is still alive and kicking.\n\nBrazilian footballer, Edson Arantes do Nasiemento aka Pele was born on 23 October 1940.\n\nPele is regarded by many as the greatest footballer to have played the beautiful game.\n\nBorn in Tres Coracoes, Minoas Gerias, Brazil, Pele was dicovered at the age of 11 and a few years later was brought to Sao Paulo to play for Santos. He scored on his debut at 16 against Corinthians F.C, and by the following season was the top scorer in the league.\n\nIn 1958 Pele won his first World Cup medal and scored twice in Brazil's win over Sweden in the final. He played in the next three world cups for Brazil, winning again in 1962 and for the third time with the great 1970 side. Managed by Zagalo, in addition to Pele the team boasted Carlos Alberto, Jairzinho, Tostão and Rivelino (Corinthians).\n\nThe great attacking ace scored over 1,280 goals in his 1,363 professional games.\n\nHe played mainly for Santos, where he also became a director, but did accept a lucrative contact with the New York Cosmos in the late 70s.\n\nIn 1981 Pele was part of the star-studded cast of the film Escape to Victory which was recently voted the best footballing film of all time.\n\nPele won the FIFA award for Best Soccer Player of the Twentieth Century, and was appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in 1994.\n\nPele was given a lifetime achievement award in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, 2005.\n\nPele once explained how he wasn't too happy to get his nickname: "Pele isn't my real name, my real name is Edson. A class-mate wanted to anger me with the name Pele, so I punched him and got suspended from school. I didn't want the name. Pele sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese."

I don´t know,\n\nI have a hunch it was Ronaldo in 1994 in the United States, even though he didn´t play one single match.  He was 17 at the time.  But Pelé could also be the record holder, because in 1958, in Brazil´s first championhip run, he was a starter and won the world cup in Sweden against the hosts, when he wa also 17.
