Craig Gordon admits he can't think about quitting football while Gianluigi Buffon keeps going week in, week out at 45.
The Hearts No1 is currently sidelined with a horror leg break after a clash in the Christmas Eve showdown with Dundee United. The skipper, 40, wants to return to action next season and is starting his rehab journey. He only needs to look at Italy legend Buffon for inspiration as he still turns out for Parma in Serie B with a year still on his deal.
The Scotland international admits he is just taking things one season at a time now he is 40 with his full focus on giving himself the best chance to return to action next season. He told the Scottish Sun: “Yeah, I wish he would quit and it would make it a bit easier, give you something to aim for! It’s crazy how long Buffon’s kept going for, though.
