England arrive in Russia this summer with a largely inexperienced squad, with only three players over the age of 30.
Gary Cahill, Ashley Young and Jamie Vardy are the oldest heads in Gareth Southgate’s squad, which has an average age of just 26.
We’ve taken a look way beyond that, looking at the oldest outfield players to ever feature at a World Cup.
The third player from the 1958 World Cup to appear in this list is Argentine forward Labruna, who played in two group games as his side finished bottom of their group.
At club level, Labruna played 515 times for River Plate over 20 years, scoring 293 times, leaving a year after appearing at the World Cup aged 39 years, 8 months and 18 days.
