Who could forget Daniel Amokachi, arriving at Everton as a 21 year old with grey hair. Toughest paper round in Africa.
As further evidence, here is Sulley Muntari, "24":

on that note, a lad i worked with in my old company arrived over here from Nigeria a year ago and was from the same village as Okocha and Kanu. He said that Kanu was playing in the local league for about 5 years before he moved (to ajax?). This league is for over 21s only so must have been 26 at least, but apparently moved as a teenager.
The lad himself had no firm idea of how old he actually was , but guessed it to be about 38.
