Yesterday I posted an article saying that Thespa Kusatsu only had three goalkeepers with no J League experience and the legendary 40 year old Japan International Noboyuki Kojima. Well, that changed. Sponichi Annex and the Thespa Kusatsu website are announcing that Kojima has retired (If my Japanese is correct on this). Kojima played in 239 games in J1 for Bellmare Hirotsuka and Avispa Fukuoka as well as 23 games for the J2 newcomer Thespa Kusatsu. He also was part of the historic 1998 Japan Team that went to France for the World Cup.
That makes KING KAZU the oldest J leaguer still playing...........until Rui decides he can lace em up again.
