Premier League cult hero is still scoring goals at 42 - with his ex-Blackburn team-mate also netting on the same weekend as former Rovers duo prove age is just a number

Two former Blackburn Rovers stars were on target for their respective clubs at the weekend at the age of 42.

Both players now ply their trades in their native countries, having left the now-Championship outfit in the early 2010s.

Since departing Ewood Park, they have accumulated a total of 12 clubs between them as their careers dwindled toward their twilight years, after spending the bulk of their playing days in the top five European divisions.

They played 428 for the Riversiders, although that is heavily weighted towards one of the ex-Brighton cult heroes, who managed a whopping 348 games, in which he scored 47 times and assisted a further 66.
