Dickie Borthwick, an 83-year old retired engineer is looking for a new club.
Borthwick who will soon turn 84 told Sport Bible he is “fit as a fiddle” and can still play 90 minutes.
“I feel like I am capable of playing 90 minutes,” he told Sport Bible.
“I will give 100%. I’m solid as a rock, well built, fearless and have a true love for the game.
“Every morning I go to the front door and take in 10 really deep breaths of fresh air. I also do it in the evening before I go to bed.”
In his 72-year playing career, Borthwick has made 1,700 appearances playing for 11 Non-League sides, Ross County and Invergordon Town FC in the Scottish highlands before moving to Dorset.
The lifelong Manchester United has not been signed to any veterans’ team since there is only one in his area but he believes he might get the chance to sign and play for a team again.
