OLD SPORTSMEN WHO MADE IT BIG - Guess you have forgotten about them?

Probably you might have forgotten them, come to think of it, truth be told,
they made history when they were in their prime. If your picture is left out, please don't take it personal.

Bernard Hopkins: Anyone who's sat through all the Rocky films knows that age is just a number when it comes to boxing and Bernard Hopkins became the oldest champion of all, when he beat Tavoris Cloud to win the IBF light heavyweight championship of the world.

Socrates: Brazil legend Socrates was a larger-than-life figure; a qualified doctor and political activist who just so happened to be a world-class footballer too. Unlike Stanley Matthews he eschewed the clean-living life, drinking and smoking, but managed to turn out for Garforth Town as a 50-year-old in 2004. Sadly, his lifestyle caught up with him in December 2011, when he passed away as a 57-year-old. Live!!!

Jack Nicklaus: The Golden Bear is seen by most as the greatest golfer of all time, a legend which was cemented when he recorded his 18th major title as a 46-year-old at the 1986 Masters. He gave it another go at the same tournament in 1998, where he finished sixth as a 58 year old with a bad hip.

• Roger Milla: The Cameroonian forward holds two World Cup records - the oldest player to score in the competition and the best celebration. The former Monpellier man dazzled as a 38-year-old at Italia 90 and then did it all over again four years later in the United States. His goal against Russia in the '94 tournament broke the record he set four years earlier as oldest scorer and he carried on playing club football well into his 40s.

  Martina Navratilova: Having won 18 Grand Slams and 167 WTA titles (and that's just in the singles) it's no surprise that Martina Navratilova played past the ripe old age of 50. The Czech-American left-hander won all there was to win in the game, including a record nine Wimbledon titles.

  Stanley Matthews

  Stanley Matthews: Sir Stan was known as the 'Wizard of the Dribble' and not even father time could stop his magic on the wing. The former Stoke and Blackpool man rarely ate meat and never drank, which no doubt helped to keep himself in tip-top shape as he played top-flight football until he was 50.
  
  
  

  

  George Foreman

  
  
  George Foreman: Big George kept on punching until he was 48, turning pro in 1969 and then hanging up his gloves in 1997 to become a lean, mean, grilling machine tycoon.
