Britain's oldest striker is still banging in the goals for his local football team three times a week - at the grand age of 90.
Sprightly Mike Fisher - nicknamed Ninja by teammates - is still averaging a hattrick every game following a footballing career which began 75 years ago in 1949.
The former RAF veteran turns out every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for two local walking football teams after he started playing for them aged 82.
Previously to that, granddad-of-two Mike, of Bloxwich, West Mids., played up until his 40s before taking a break from the beautiful game.
After falling back in love with the sport in his 80s he now regularly appears for Old Corinthians, who play at non-league Rushall Olympic's ground in Walsall.

00:00I play three times a week playing football, walking football, and I play walking for kids
00:15one day a week.
00:16I'll be sitting at home doing nothing, and I just do it to keep me fit, and I enjoy it.
00:22That's the main thing, I enjoy doing it, and I'll keep doing it as long as I can.
00:27How long it'll be, I don't know.
00:28I hope to be here next year, until I'm 21.
00:32I started off playing in the Luton District League, because I lived in a little village
00:37just outside Luton called Barton, and then when I came up here I played in the Wolverhampton
00:42Works League and the Wolverhampton Amateur League.
00:53One of the people who ran the team before, they just called me Ninja because they didn't
00:57know where to find me.
