Yahya Golmohammadi

Yahya Golmohammadi carries one of those statistics I cannot stop admiring: the oldest man to score on his first World Cup start, netting for Iran against Mexico in 2006, and one of only eleven Iranians ever to score at a World Cup. To do that as a centre-back, on the biggest stage, late in your career, takes nerve most players never develop. What I find even more compelling is his second act as a coach. Defenders who turn to teaching tend to build disciplined, resilient sides, and a man who delivered under that kind of pressure clearly has wisdom worth passing on.

He is one of only eleven Iranians to score in a World Cup and he is the oldest player to score on his first World Cup start, doing so for Iran in 2006 against Mexico. His position was usually the central defender.
