61 years old - new record for oldest college football player

HA! From the AARP magazine. A nice short article. 

And his kicking is pretty good.

Vietnam vet Alan Moore is back on the college gridiron as a placekicker

... Moore's next goal was to play for Faulkner and its skeptical head football coach, Gregg Baker, 45. "He actually came to us back in the spring," Baker recalls. "One of my assistant coaches brought him to my attention.

"I asked [Moore] point-blank, 'Why are you doing this?' " Baker says. "He said, 'Coach, my biggest thing is to show [Faulkner students] that they should never give up on anything that they start.' "

Moore is working towards completing his degree - started decades ago.
