[quote]At an age when many start thinking about retirement, Alan Moore is restarting his football career.

Moore, a 61 year-old Vietnam veteran, will kick this fall for Faulkner University, a small Christian school in Montgomery, Ala., 43 years after his initial college career was cut short by Vietnam. When he takes the field against Ave Maria on Sept. 10, Moore will be the oldest player ever to take the field for a four-year university.[/quote]


Kudos to this guy!

Wow, that's awesome. Even to be a kicker at age 61 is impressive.

I'm guessing this was a PR move and he won't kick the ball once.

Re: Yahoo Sports: 61 Year Old Vet makes college football team
 

its a small enough school that he could. a few years back some school had a 44 year old starting qb i believe.

Crap, one more stupid story that is Going to wind up on fox
Pregame show instead of analysis of football games.
