Britain’s oldest striker scores five goals for the local team on his 90th birthday

Britain’s oldest striker scored five goals on his 90th birthday last week.

Mike Fisher, nicknamed Ninja because of his pace in the penalty area, plays walking football for Old Corinthians in Walsall.

Mike from Bloxwich said: “They all call me Ninja.

‘Because they say I’ll be gone in the blink of an eye, just like that.

“One minute you think you’ve collared me and the next minute I’m gone and the ball is in the back of the net.

“If you ask someone if they play with Mike Fisher, they have no idea who you’re talking about, but if you say ‘you play with Ninja,’ they’ll know who you mean.

“I still love football and I will continue as long as I can, or at least as long as I still score regularly.

“That feeling of scoring goals never gets old, even if I do.

“I’ve lost count of how many I’ve scored, but I normally get four or five a game and I’ve been playing regular walking football three times a week for eight years.

“A few times I’ve scored ten in a match.”

“That feeling of scoring never gets old.”

The Luton Town fan’s goals came just days before Man City’s Erling Haaland scored five against, er, Luton.
