Junichi Inamoto: West Brom's Craven Cottage cracker to still playing at 43!
On this day back in 2005 Junichi Inamoto scored an absolute belter for Albion against his old club Fulham - what would turn out to be his only strike for the club.
The Japanese midfielder was one of the best players from his country to player in the Premier League - and is still remembered fondly at Fulham for bagging in a famous win at Old Trafford.
But now, years on from his time at Albion the Japanese international is still playing well into his 40s.
His English football journey began a few years earlier - for Arsenal after signing from Gamba Osaka for around £3.5 million.
Four appearances came from his Arsenal spell but he did score twice at the 2002 World Cup - before heading to Fulham.
Inamoto was then picked up by Gary Megson after Albion had been promoted back to the top flight - but he never played under Megson and Bryan Robson sent him out on loan to Cardiff.
The following season he returned and was very much part of Robson's plans - playing 26 times and scoring that goal at Fulham in the Carling Cup.
And he remained at Albion the following season, for the start anyway, playing three times in the Championship before signing for Galatasary.
He then went on to Rennes - before closing out his career in his home country where he made 82 appearances for the national team and was well regarded by Japanese football fans.
So, what is the man who will be remembered for his Craven Cottage cracker up to now?
Well, he is still playing at the age of 43.
Inamoto turns out for Nankatsu SC in the Kanto Soccer League - five divisions below the top flight in Japan.
On signing for the club earlier this year he said: "I want to have a good influence on my teammates off the pitch as well as to leave results."
