Bristol Rovers legend still going strong at 50, as he prepares for a 35th consecutive season

Bristol Rovers legend Barry Hayles is preparing for his 35th consecutive campaign in senior football after turning out for Combined Counties side Windsor in a pre-season friendly.

Hayles, 50, donned the No5 jersey against Cymru South side Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC, although the veteran conceded a penalty in the opening six minutes as Windsor fell to a 6-0 defeat, as reported by footballinbracknell.co.uk.

Hayles served as player/manager at Merstham last season but left the club following relegation and has signed for ninth-tier side Windsor as part of manager Mick Woodham’s backroom staff and is still in talks over whether his duties will include playing.
