Friedel becomes Tottenham's oldest player

LONDON (AP) -- American goalkeeper Brad Friedel has become the oldest man to play for Tottenham.

Already the oldest player to appear for Aston Villa, Friedel set the Tottenham record Wednesday when he started his team's English Premier League match at Bolton at 40 years, 350 days.

The previous age record for the north London club was set by Jimmy Cantrell, who was a day younger than Friedel when he made his final appearance in 1923.
