There's Life In The Old Fart Yet Quiz

Answer: Manchester City

Goalkeeper, John "Budgie" Burridge started his professional career at fourth division side Workington in 1969, where in his very first game he punched the ball into his own net. Thankfully things got better for "Budgie" and by 1977 he won a League Cup winners medal with Aston Villa.
"Budgie's" love for the game has seen him accept moves to various clubs in order to play and before his stint at Manchester City had been playing in Scotland with Dunfermline Athletic, Dumbarton and Falkirk.
After Manchester City, he moved to lower leagues, playing for Darlington, Grimsby Town and Blyth Spartans among others. He finished his playing career at Blyth, aged 47, becoming player manager at the club for a season before turning to coaching and in 2019 was appointed goalkeeping coach at Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League.

Answer: Maurice Trintignant

Trintignant was 40 years old when he won at Monaco in 1958, his second win at the circuit, having also won in the Grand Prix's inaugural year, 1955. Amazingly he isn't the oldest man to drive in a Formula One race, that honour goes to Louis Chiron, who was 56 when he drove his Lancia to sixth place, also in the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. Trintignant retired from Formula One in 1964 and took over the running of his father's vineyard.

Answer: Hartford Whalers

Howe, from Floral, Saskatchewan. Made his NHL debut in 1946 with the Detroit Red Wings, a team with which would play until 1971, an incredible 25 years of service. Following the 1970-71 season, he moved to the World Hockey Association, a rival league to the dominant NHL, where he played four seasons for the Houston Aeros and two seasons for the New England Whalers, until the merger of the NHL and WHA in 1979, when the franchise relocated from Boston, Massachusetts, to Hartford,Connecticut. Although the Red Wings still held Howe's NHL registration, a gentleman's agreement was reached between the two teams in which Detroit agreed not to reclaim him, allowing him to turn out for Hartford.

Amazingly, given his age compared to others players in the league, he played for all 80 regular season games, plus the three playoff games that the team were involved in before announcing his retirement. He is fondly remembered for giving rise to the phrase "a Gordie Howe hat trick", consisting of a goal, an assist and a fight in the same game, but remarkably, this happened to him just twice in his 1,767 NHL games.

Answer: Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus won an amazing 18 majors during his career, starting with the U.S. Open in 1962. His golden period was the early 1970s when he won five majors in three years, The Open Championship in 1970, the PGA Championship in 1971 and 1973 and the Masters and the U.S. Open, both in 1972.In 1980, he won the U.S. Open and the PGA again, but then had to wait for six long years for his next major, when he shot a nine under par to beat Tom Kite and Greg Norman by a single stroke. Nicklaus retired from professional golf following his round at St. Andrews, Scotland in the Open Championship of 2005.

In the style of a true great, his final professional stroke was to sink a 15 foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole.

Answer: Kentucky Derby

Jon Court has had a glittering career, beginning in Colorado in 1980 where he rode his first winner, "Nevada's Hope", all the way to celebrating the 4,000th win of his career aboard "City Without Pity" in 2016. When he rode "Long Range Toddy" at the 2019 Kentucky Derby, the vast majority of his rival jockey's weren't even born when he rode his first winner and although he finished a disappointing 16th, he rode, as always with distinction. Prior to Court, the oldest jockey to take part in the Kentucky Derby was Bobby Baird, who was a sprightly 57 when he rode "Raymond Earl" in the 1978 running of this classic event.

Answer: Darts

Warren didn't let the nerves show as in his first-ever major final he beat Williams in the best of 13 games final of the British Darts Organisation (BDO) World Championship. Although Williams was hitting a higher three-dart average in the final, 94.53 compared to Warren's 93.72, Warren's finishing was much more clinical. Also in 2020, Warren won the Romanian Classic and the Slovak Masters to really get his name out there.
The previous oldest darts champion was Phil "The Power" Taylor who was 52 when he won the Professional Darts Championship (PDC) in 2013.

Answer: Australian Rules Football

Cumberland began his professional Aussie Rules career with Victoria Football League (VFL) side, Melbourne in 1898, before spending a couple of seasons with St. Kilda. He moved to New Zealand for two seasons to play for Auckland Imperial before making a very successful return to St. Kilda.

After a spell playing for Sturt in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), he once again returned to the VFL with St. Kilda where he was an integral part of the team that reached the VFL Grand Final in 1913.
The first world war then interrupted football, but once games started again after the war, Cumberland played the 1920 season, again for St. Kilda before finally retiring aged 43.

Answer: Bernard Hopkins Jnr.

In 2004, Hopkins, the holder of the middleweight WBA (World Boxing Association), WBC (World Boxing Council) and IBF (International Boxing Federation) titles fought Oscar de la Hoya for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) title, a bout he won by knockout in the ninth round, to unify the titles. Following a successful defence against Howard Eastman, Hopkins met Jermain Taylor, to whom he lost by split decision.

A rematch five months later wasn't successful and Hopkins had to wait until 2010 for a chance to win one of these titles back, when he fought Jean Pascal of Canada, in a bout that ended in a draw, but in the rematch five months later, Hopkins won by unanimous decision to take the WBC title at 46 years old, breaking the record for oldest champion which had been set previously by George Foreman who was 45 when he took the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles in 1994.

Answer: English Channel

Roger Allsopp was a breast cancer surgeon until he retired aged 65 in 2006, which was also the first year that he swam the English Channel. Five years later, he did it again and entered the record books as the oldest person to do so, at the age of 70 years and four months, beating the previous record holder, George Brunstad who was 70 years and four days when he completed the journey in 2004. Brunsted did manage a quicker time than Allsopp though, completing the 21 nautical miles in 15 hours, 59 minutes, whereas Dr. Roger took 17 hours, 51 minutes and 19 seconds.

Answer: Engravings And Etchings

Not only was Copley the oldest Olympic medallist, he was also the last person to win the silver for engravings and etchings as art competitions were dropped from the Olympic programme following the 1948 games. Copley's winning piece was entitled "Polo Players" and he finished second to French artist Albert Decaris, who took gold with his piece entitled "The Swimming Pool".

Taking art competitions out of the equation, the oldest person to win an Olympic medal is Oscar Swahn, a Swedish shooter who won a silver medal in the 100 metre team running deer, double shots competition in 1920, aged 72.
Swahn is also the oldest person to win a gold medal, which he did in the single shot running deer, single shot event in 1912, aged 64 years and 258 days.
