Britain’s oldest goalkeeper is still turning out for his local club at the age of 79.
Colin Lee began playing football aged six meaning his career in the sport now spans seven decades.
The RAF veteran holds the position of secretary for eight teams in his home town.
Despite his advancing age grandfather-of-eight Colin has no intention of hanging up his gloves.
He said: “I’ve been told you have to be mad to be a goalie, so I guess I must be bordering on that as I’ve done it for so long.
“I love chucking myself around the goal like a lunatic.

“I’ve got arthritis in my hands and my joints and knees are stiffer than they used to be but I still love it when I make a good save.
“I’ve had lots of bruises but amazingly I’ve never had any serious football injuries in more than 70 years.
“I turn 80 in June and I’ve got no plans to stop playing. I will play for as long as my body lets me and of course, if I’m still picked for the team.”

After leaving the RAF in 1974 he established Sunday league team Thorplands Club 81 with his workmates.
Since then he has set up three more adult teams, three youth teams and the RAF veterans’ team.
He currently plays most Saturdays in the same side as son Colin Junior, 50, and his grandson Tom, 21.
Colin, who lives with second wife Joy, 66, in Northampton, said: “It is wonderful to play with my son and grandson.
“Unfortunately Colin has the same knee problems I’ve suffered with but it’s great when we all turn out for the same team.
“I can still play a full 90 minutes but I also do a lot behind the scenes and we’re currently trying to build a new club house and community centre for the future generations.”
Colin has been awarded the Barclays Community Sports Award for his community football work.
He named his all-time football hero as Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs.
