List Of Footballers With The Most Official Appearances
This is a list of footballers who have played at least 1,000 official football matches at all age levels: regarding junior levels, only the matches with national teams are counted, because such data for club levels cannot be found for the majority of the players. English goalkeeper Peter Shilton holds the record for the most appearances. In March 2022, Robert Carmona from Uruguay was recognized as the oldest active footballer by Guinness World Records and was reported as having played around 2,200 official matches, a total that would place him at the top of the list by far; however, due to a lack of details about the distribution of these matches per year and team, or even which teams he played for, he cannot be added to the list, at least for the time being. The current active player with the most official appearances is Paul Bastock, who is second overall, as well as among goalkeepers. Goalkeepers' careers tend to have a longer span and they play more matches on average, as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
