Aged Like Fine Wine

This is quite an incredible stat.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored more goals since turning 30 (289), than he did before turning 30 (186).

Zlatan turned 39 in October but has now scored 8 goals in 7 games. It's incredible.

What other Sportsman over the years have only gotten better the older they got?

Nelson Cruz; man continually got better and is still just getting better well into his 40's now.

I have an obscure one that I highly doubt anyone here will know.

Rugby League legend Steve Menzies played hard hitting Rugby League until the age of 38.

I don't necessarily know if he got better but he certainly didn't slow down and in a Sport like Rugby League it is very, very impressive. He said at the end that he still felt like he could play on and felt good but his fear was playing one season too many.

Yeah Nelson Cruz is a great fucking shout, Grim. I remember when he was on the Rangers and I loved him, was super sad to see him go and then he just got fucking better

No. He's being paid $12 Million.
