Football veteran breaks Dunedin scoring record

Rather than a goal-setter, septuagenarian Graham Musgrave is a goal-getter.

The 75-year-old football fanatic, playing in his 60th open-grade season, is believed to be the oldest player to score a goal in a Dunedin competition, after slotting it perfectly in the back of the net on Saturday.

While his Roslyn Wakari Moas lost 4-1 to the Mosgiel Masters in the veteran’s 45-plus grade, Musgrave was thrilled with his accomplishment.
