Roger Milla has lost his record as the oldest footballer to represent an African national team to 43-year-old Mauritius striker Kersley Appou. Cameroons Milla set the previous mark when scoring in a 6-1 defeat against Russia in the 1994 World Cup at the age of 42 years and 39 days. He still holds the record as the oldest player and goal scorer at a World Cup. Appou played in Mauritiuss Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeat against Mauritania on Saturday. He was 43 years and 354 days old, which is still short of MacDonald Taylor Sr, from the US Virgin Islands, who holds the world record of 46 years and 217 days. (BBC Sport)
