Gascoigne has to be up there for sure and so does Edgar Davids, irrespective of where they were at in their careers at the time.

I saw something on another social media site about him playing at BP in his final season. Matthews comes to mind for me too. Widely regarded as the greatest player in the world in is heyday, he was the first winner in each case of the Footballer of the Year, European Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or awards. He is the only player to have been knighted while still playing, and had an FA Cup final named after him (“The Matthews Final”). I saw Stan play for Stoke at Blundell Park in his early 50s around 1963. Even Matthews must be eclipsed, however, by Henry Kissinger, a Nobel Peace Prize winner no less.
