Inter Milan are one of the most prestigious clubs in the history of Serie A and a number of players have contributed to their success. While their city rivals AC Milan have been a more successful club in the city, the last two decades have seen Nerazzurri turn into a behemoth in Italian football. Throughout their history, Inter Milan have had some incredible players who have given their all regardless of their age.
Inter Milan have had some iconic goal-scorers in their 114-year history
The San Siro outfit have had outstanding players play for them, but there have been a few who have displayed their talents despite being past their prime. Age was just a number for them and they have shown up for the Milan-based club in the toughest of times. Inter Milan have also played their part in signing experienced players and utilizing their talent to the fullest.
On that note, let's take a look at the five oldest goalscorers in Inter Milan history.
#5 Luis Figo (36years 3months 3days)
Luis Figo is one of the finest wingers to ever play in the game. The former Portuguese international played at some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Inter Milan.
He left Real Madrid to join Inter Milan on a free transfer in 2005. While it was not his most successful stint, his leadership skills were exemplary.
Figo would go on to score only 11 goals and provide 29 assists in 140 appearances at the Serie A club. One of those 11 strikes came in the 2008-09 title-winning season.
Figo retired after that campaign but will always have the satisfaction of winning the Serie A title before hanging up his boots.
#4 Franco Causio (36years 4months 18days)
Franco Causio was one of the most dynamic wingers of his time. The Italian ace played for several Serie A clubs during his prime and displayed his brilliance for the Nerazzurri too.
A creative right winger, Causio would cover the length of the pitch and then drive at opponents with his sensational close control. He would also work hard off the ball to win possession in threatening areas and then capitalize on the mistakes of the opponent.
The 1982 World Cup winner joined Inter Milan in 1984 from Udinese, but only stayed there for a year. However, in his one season at the club, the 35-year-old star played 42 times and scored three goals.
One of the greats of Italian football, the Milan-based club have fond memories of the dazzling winger.
#3 Giuseppe Meazza (36years 7months 21days)
Giuseppe Meazza is remembered as the greatest Italian footballer of all time, due to his contributions to the game. One of the many players to have played during the Second World War, the centre-forward was truly mesmerizing to watch.
He managed to get through players with relative ease while also finding the back of the net comfortably. Meazza always played with a smile on his face and was never deterred by any defender. He was one of the first greats at Inter Milan and spent 13 years at the club before joining rivals AC Milan. However, he ended his career with the Nerazzurri and also found the back of the net before retiring.
Inter Milan's stadium was named the 'Giuseppe Meazza Stadium' after he passed away in 1979.
#2 Sinisa Mihajlovic (37years 1month 19days)
Sinisa Mihajlovic was one of the most versatile players of his generation. The former Serbian international was primarily a centre-back but was an incredible passer of the ball too.
Mihajlovic was a massive aerial presence for every club he played for and was often the man to target in attacking set-pieces. Like Figo, he also arrived at Inter Milan on a free transfer and stayed only for a couple of seasons. But during his time at the club, he was one of the first names on the team-sheet. While his game-time was reduced during his final year at the club, he would find the rare goal.
Mihajlovic retired in 2006 but made his way onto this list due to a goal scored in his last season with the club. He is the current manager of Serie A side Bologna.
#1 Javier Zanetti (37years 4months 5days)
Javier Zanetti is arguably the greatest player in Inter Milan's history. The defender produced incredible consistency during his 19 years at the club and won several trophies.
The Argentinian international is one of the few players to have played in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. But despite this, he adapted to every method employed by every manager, thanks to his tactical nous and incredible work-rate.
While he was not a prolific goal-scorer, Zanetti would pop up occasionally in the penalty box to score the odd goal. He did manage to do so even towards the end of his career becoming the oldest goal-scorers in the club's history.
The former Inter Milan captain retired in 2014 but is remembered as an icon by the San Siro faithful.
