FA Cup: Ex-England winger Trevor Sinclair, 41, eyes playing chance
Former England winger Trevor Sinclair made his last appearance as a footballer in the 2008 FA Cup final but, at the age of 41, he could be about to dust off the boots and play in the competition once again.
Sinclair, who retired as a player six years ago, is currently assistant manager of non-league side Lancaster City, who on Saturday face FC United in the FA Cup second qualifying round.
But an injury crisis means Sinclair, who scored a stunning bicycle-kick for QPR in the competition against Barnsley 17 years ago, could be called upon to recreate his FA Cup-goalscoring exploits.
"There is a possibility I might have to get involved this weekend because we are struggling for numbers," Sinclair told BBC Sport.
"My wife told me to behave myself because I am an old man now - I am touching 42 - but I still feel fit and able.
"I still look after myself and the most important thing is I still love the game and I get involved in training when I can.
"If the gaffer says we are struggling for numbers and asks if I want to play I will, but I don't want to take the opportunity away from one of the young lads."
