Tearing ourselves away from Celtic players and back to Dutch players, for a moment, that guy Jan Jongbloed was pretty old when he broke through, I believe?

.. just checking, played one international in 1962 (losing 4-1 to Denmark!), his next appearance was a game against Argentina in 1974 (won 4-1 this time) and then it was the '74 World Cup.

He's a good call! Played the 74 final with bare hands because "otherwise you can't feel the ball"!

Steve Savidan is a good example, I think. He was kicking around in the French third division for years, making zero impression, before going on a three year streak with Valenciennes that got them promoted to L1 and won him his first cap at 30.

one month passes...

Gianluca Lapadula, who is 26, looks pretty good at Milan. He was in the third division at Teramo two years ago and had a great season at Pescara last year. Scored the winner today.
