Who are the oldest players to play in MLS?

MLS has seen several players extend their careers past age 40. Goalkeepers tend to have longer careers due to the less physically demanding nature of the position. Nick Rimando played until age 40.

Notable veteran outfield players in MLS have included Didier Drogba, David Villa, and various others who chose MLS as a final career stop. The league's growing quality means fewer veteran stars can simply coast on reputation.
