Accusation: Taribo West was 40 – not 28 as he claimed – when he played for Partizan Belgrade, according to the club’s former president Zarko Zecevic.

‘He joined us saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he
was still playing well so I don’t regret having him on the team,’ Zecevic said.
But according to the Croatian media, the former defender known for his
colourful hairstyles also lied when trying to join Croatia’s Rijeka club.
At the age of 44, they said West told club doctors he was only 32.

It was only after an examination that the doctors raised suspicions with the
club because West’s knees suggested he was older – lmao!
He wasn’t signed to the team but later joined Plymouth and then Iranian side
Paykan FC, where he ended his career at the age of 46 in 2008.
Today his Wikipedia entry says he is 39.
