Do they?It's interesting how with many footballers the legs go almost always at the 30/31 age.
In a lot of other sports you're hitting your prime at that age. Athletics for example a lot of sprinters and runners are still near their peak at that age I know people will point to steroids, drugs etc but you do wonder why a footballer would lose pace at a relatively young age.
I wonder how many football clubs hire Athletics coaches? If a footballer's level is dependent on his ability to run, it would make sense to have access to specialists in running surely?
If Rugby League players can keep going to their mid 30s, how the hell could footballers not manage it.
