How Old Is He ?

How old do you think this footballer looks, am i the only one that thinks he's telling porkies ?

The father of a 12-year-old boy who has scored three times in two under-16 internationals for Germany has rejected doubts about his son's true age.

According to his official birth certificate, Moukok was born on 20 November, 2004 in Cameroon.
There have been some questions in the German press over the youngster's true age, but the German Football Association (DFB) has said all the paperwork is in order.

Well he certainly looks older than 12 to me, Sam, but I am not a good judge of age. But in all fairness, we can only see his head and shoulders, we can't see his size, height, build or anything else to go by.

The medical profession could assess his bone development to estimate his age with reasonable accuracy.

The beautiful game is now so bent, perhaps starting young is not to be unexpected I guess.

Re: How Old Is He ?

My best mate's foster son looks 18 at 13. It's really difficult to not talk to him like an adult. He's been that way since he was 12 and is also really good at football and doing well in the local juniors team. He's nearly 14 now and pretty much looks like a man. A lot of kids look mature faster these days because we have good nutrition etc.

I think most children look older than their years these days

My Grandson is 14 and is 6'1" ... and he has started shaving He is often mistaken for being older.
