53-year-old Kazuyoshi Miura today played his first competitive game of 2020 for Yokohama FC, meaning he has now played competitive football in five separate decades:

❍ 1980s
❍ 1990s
❍ 2000s
❍ 2010s
❍ 2020s

What a man.

Kazuyoshi Miura was born in the same year as:

❍ Jurgen Klopp

❍ Roberto Baggio

Imagine if they were still playing too.
