Oldest Living Pro Football Players
For years I have been looking for a list of the oldest living professional football players. I have searched and found a few different for Major League Baseball, but never for football. So, I have decided to compile a list myself. After many hours of research, I have finally put together what I believe is the most comprehensive and detailed list there is today.
I have also include ALL player deaths from 1980 to 2010, with the date of their passing, debut team and years played.
