👴 Cech them out! Every Premier League club's oldest ever player | OneFootball

We were all a bit taken aback yesterday as Petr Cech was named in Chelsea’s Premier League squad.

The retired goalkeeper was registered in the Blues’ 25-man squad as a “non-contracted player” and who knows, maybe he’ll have to don his goalkeeping gloves again.

But the 38-year-old isn’t even the oldest player  in the Chelsea squad, that’s  Willy Caballero, and is a long way from being Chelsea’s oldest ever Premier League player.

Here is the oldest player  to  have played for all of the top flight’s current clubs in the Premier League.

Liverpool

Gary McAllister, 37 years 136 days

That’s right, Liverpool’s oldest ever Premier League player wasn’t even 38!

Sheffield United

Phil Jagielka, 37 years 328 days

Still on the Blades’ books, there’s a good chance Jagielka will appear for them again this season at the age of 38.

Leeds

Wolves

Denis Irwin, 38 years 196 days
