Kazuyoshi Miura turned 54 one day before the 2021 J.League season. And yet, he still plays in the top flight of Japanese football for Yokohama FC. This is the incredible story of the world's oldest footballer. A boy who left home at 15 to play football thousands of miles from home, before returning to Japan a hero. A player who went on to win countless titles for the iconic Yomiuri Verdy / Verdy Kawasaki. But a player who also suffered national team heartbreak for Japan. And, of course, of a player who continues to break records and redefine what it means to be a professional footballer.
