Finally done after ages! Englishman scores in 10 top leagues of his country | OneFootball

Good things take time. This was likely the thought of a now 50-year-old footballer from England, who, after an incredible 32 seasons in men's football, completed an equally incredible feat over the weekend.

While many of his peers only talk about a good and bad knee instead of a left and right one, Jamie Cureton is still full of life. The center forward continues to chase goals like a young lad, no matter which league he's in.

On December 10, 1994, the then 19-year-old scored for Norwich City for the first time in the Premier League, marking the first milestone on his journey - downwards. 

For in the following 11,277 days, Cureton gradually moved down a league in his sporting career. However, one constant remained: wherever the former U18 national player went, the net shook.

Queens Park Rangers, Colchester United, Shrewsbury Town, or Enfield FC were among the clubs for which Cureton laced up his boots over 1,000 times, and he was able to celebrate everywhere.

That's why there was a very special reason to celebrate last Sunday. As a substitute, he scored the final goal in a 4-1 victory against Dussindale & Hellesdon Rovers for Kings Park Rangers. With this goal, Cureton can claim to have scored at least once in the top ten (!) leagues of the country.

His current club celebrated the journeyman on 'X' for having "completed football." Meanwhile, the celebrated player does not yet see himself at the end of his dreams. "I'm still four or five goals away from my 400th career goal, and I would still like to chase that milestone," the insatiable player revealed in a 'BBC interview'. Probably just a matter of time, as Cureton knows very well where the goal is.
