Paul McCartney once mused in song whether anyone would need him or feed him when he’s 64. Italian singer-songwriter Enrico Ruggeri is asking the same questions, but it’s soccer passes, not food, that he seeks.
The 64-year-old debuted for Italian fourth-division club Asd Sona on Sunday, ESPN reported. He started the game in his team’s 1-0 league home loss to Tritium Calcio 1908. He played nine minutes before leaving the pitch.
Ruggeri joined the club in April at the invitation of its president. Sona is a small town in northeast Italy.
“I’m a playmaker,” he said. “I play behind the forwards. The president invited me to play and I accepted with enthusiasm this new adventure, comforted by the fact that Maicon is here.”
The reference is to former Brazil international Maicon, who signed a deal with Sona earlier this year and started alongside Ruggeri on Sunday.

America has been at a loss, picking up the pieces since it was announced a couple of months ago that Simon Cowell would not be returning to American Idol, but rather as a judge on another UK import called X Factor. X Factor is a show kind of like Idol, only with a lot more props and unattractive people. Anybody can make it on X Factor. The humbles. The poors. The unbreastimplanted. Susan Boyle. And the adorable and very crushable Matt Cardle. But what you may not have realized is that America is one of the last countries to get their very own X Factor. In fact, 27 countries have already beaten us to the punch. One of those countries being Italy, a land known mainly for their pasta and mustaches. Italy’s X Factor is the stuff that dreams are made of. Not only do the judges have really fun...
