This 102-Year-Old Lady Shows You're Never Too Old To Be A Professional Footballer

We personally do not plan on living to be 102 years old, but, should we somehow manage it, we would like to be a professional soccer player when we reach that age. This 102-year-old lady has given us a blueprint for such an achievement, taking part in a training session with Barcelona (the Ecuadorean version).

102-Year-Old Lady Has Better Touch Than Us

That's Maria Guadalupe, who is 102 years old and has been a Barcelona (Ecuador) supporter for like 90 years. We're pretty sure she pre-dates the club. 

Good for her. Most of us aren't making it to 102, and those of us who do will almost certainly not be able to kick a soccer ball.

The crazy thing is Maria Guadalupe isn't even the oldest person to play for Barcelona (Ecuador).
