Longest serving starting player

[lankyitfc]

Hi all,

I wondered what is the longest you've kept a 'starting player' - ie. one of the randomly assigned players when you start your team, as a regular first teamer. I am in division 2/3 England, and the player copied in below as been a regular for me throughout (must have been about 22yo when I started my team). No need for any comments that he may not be up to the standard! Just intrigued whether folk have had many players like this. I have almost a sentimental attachment to him now aha!
