33 now and played under Phil Brown at Pune City in India as his last club. I'm sure that will have finished him off.
Having gone to school with Matt Mills, reading your post has made me realise I'm now in the "over the hill" for footballers age group. Fuck.

I'm 41 now and I feel really old when some managers (ie. Richie Wellens) are younger than me!

Has any player ever made their pro (or any level really) debut at the age of 35, in the face of having absolutely no talent whatever?
I'm starting to think that the dream might be over guys. Maybe we could start a support group.

I think if you hadn't been found by the time you were 22/23 then there's little hope of making a career out of football. However, you could still have a chance at International level as this guy was 35 before playing for Norway, although I imagine he had a bit of footballing ability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjell_Moe

Oldham have been busy with 4 new signings in 24 hours, 2 CB's, a LB and a midfielder and only of them isn't English.
David Wheater has signed for a year ending speculation he would sign for Salford.

Presumably that also end speculation of the 10k pw contract? (That was him, wasn't it?)

That was him, Maybe Salford don't have the funding that has been touted around so far.
